Security forces in Burkina Faso have rescued 66 women and children after they were kidnapped by suspected militant jihadists in the north of the country last week, state TV reports.
In an unprecedented mass kidnapping, the victims were seized while gathering food in an area hit by an insurgency.
They were found on a bus at a security checkpoint some 200km (125 miles) south of where they were taken, reports say.
It is not clear if their captors have also been detained.
On Friday night, state TV showed pictures of the children and women, some with babies on their backs, boarding a bus at an airport after being addressed by a military officer.
