Niger reports failed coup attempt
The Ministry of Defense in Niger announced the failure of a coup attempt in Niamey, as the defense forces regained control of key locations after a night of gunfire and explosions around the presidential palace, the airport, and the 101st Air Base. Amid fierce clashes, the troops managed to encircle the insurgents and detain some of the attackers, while authorities called on the population to remain calm. This development comes against the backdrop of threats from armed groups, particularly those linked to Al-Qaeda and ISIS, which have carried out previous attacks on strategic facilities in the country.
