Eight suspected jihadists were killed and another 38 captured in a joint operation by Burkinabe and Ivorian forces near the two countries' shared border, the Ivory Coast army said on Sunday.
The captured men - 24 in Burkina Faso and 14 in Ivory Coast - were handed over to intelligence services, a source at Ivorian army headquarters told AFP.
On Saturday, a Burkinabe security source said the entire operation had been carried out in Ivory Coast.
A Burkina Faso military source told AFP that a Burkinabe soldier had been wounded and hospitalised in Korhogo, in northern Ivory Coast.
Security sources say they are jihadists operating in Burkina Faso who shelter in Ivory Coast.
