Gunfire and explosions in Niger's capital
Niamy, the capital of Niger, witnessed intense exchanges of gunfire and explosions in several areas today, Saturday, including Diori Hamani Airport and the presidential palace, amid ongoing clashes. Since the July 2023 coup that ousted President Mohamed Bazoum, the Nigerien military, led by General Abdrahaman Tiani, has been in control. The military government has fostered closer ties with Russia after distancing itself from Western countries. The destruction and unrest in the region reflect escalating tensions, but there are no details yet about any injuries or immediate outcomes.
