Eighteen people have been killed and about 20 have been wounded in a "terrorist attack" in the centre of the capital of Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou, the government says.
Gunmen opened fire on customers seated outside a restaurant, witnesses were quoted as saying.
The attack is now over, authorities say, with at least two assailants killed by security forces.
A jihadist attack on a nearby cafe killed 30 people in January last year.
