Niger experiences gunfire and explosions
The Nigerian capital, Niamey, was subjected to a double attack on Saturday morning, involving gunfire and explosions in several areas, including the presidential airport and a major military base. The attack targeted Diori Hamani International Airport and the 101st Base, but security forces managed to regain control of the sites and retook the base after heavy clashes. This comes amid escalating tensions in Niger, which has been governed by a military council since the July 2023 coup. The country is moving closer to Russia and forming alliances with Mali and Burkina Faso to combat armed groups. The crisis has intensified following the seizure of French uranium company assets and a reduction in reliance on Western countries.
