CNN
Around 58 people have been killed in villages in the northwestern Nigerian state of Zamfara during deadly reprisal attacks by armed bandits following military airstrikes on their hideouts this week, government authorities told CNN. But residents told Reuters that an estimated 200 people or more were killed.
Residents gained access to the villages on Saturday after the military captured the communities to organize mass burials, they told Reuters.
Zamfara's commissioner for information, Ibrahim Dosara, told CNN on Sunday that four communities in the state's Anka and Bukkuyum districts were targeted in the deadly raids while disputing widely reported casualty figures.

The governments of Mexico and the United States signed a memorandum of understanding on Thursday to fund and expedite several wastewater treatment projects in the Tijuana River basin. Untreated wastewater continually affects residents living along the river, which flows across the border from Tijuana and through several of San Diego’s southern neighborhoods.
