7 Children in Togo Killed in Blast

by VOA News

   Seven children were killed in a blast in northern Togo.

   The circumstances surrounding the explosion late Saturday into Sunday
   were not immediately clear.

   An investigation is underway "to determine the circumstances of this
   explosion and identify the perpetrators," the army said Sunday.

   Eight soldiers were killed in the region in late May. The country
   declared a state of emergency in the northern region following the
   attack.
