OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso—Gunmen fired on a vehicle carrying a medical team in Burkina Faso on Wednesday, killing two employees of Doctors Without Borders, the organization said. Two others managed to escape.

The aid organization, also known by its French acronym MSF, said the violence took place on the road between Dedougou and Tougan in the country’s northwest. MSF said in a statement that it “has suspended its activities in the Boucle du Mouhoun region” following the attack.
