0:55Now PlayingAt least eight people, including five civilians, have been killed when gunmen believed to have come from Liberia seized a border village in western Cote d'Ivoire.
Reports say heavily armed fighters crossed the Cavally River, which forms the boundary between the two West African neighbours, and attacked the village of Fetai early on Thursday.
Gunmen from Liberia have carried out several assaults on towns near the border in recent years which the government and the United Nations have blamed on allies of former President Laurent Gbagbo.
Fetai was last attacked in February.
Cote d'Ivoire, the world's top cocoa producing nation, is recovering from a decade-long political crisis that culminated in 2011 in a brief civil war after Gbagbo refused to accept his election defeat to Alassane Ouattara.
