Gunfire and blasts rocked parts of Burundi’s capital overnight, with authorities saying one person was killed while attacking a police station, the latest violence following President Pierre Nkurunziza’s disputed re-election.
Unidentified gunmen attacked the station in Bujumbura’s Cibitoke district late Thursday and were repelled, police spokesman Pierre Nkurikiye said on national radio. One of the assailants, the resident of a nearby neighborhood, was killed, he said.
