Residents in Burkina Faso’s capital say gunfire erupted late on Sunday in the same area as embattled President Roch Marc Christian Kabore’s home, hours after mutinous soldiers seized control of a military base in the capital, Ouagadougou.
Burkina Faso’s government earlier said the army had not seized control of the country after exchanges of gunfire at multiple army barracks, including two in Ouagadougou, amid growing frustration with the government’s failure to prevent attacks by armed groups.

Al Jazeera’s Henry Wilkins reports from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
