Niger capital shaken by gunfire near palace
In the early hours of Saturday morning, the capital of Niger, Niamey, experienced heavy gunfire and explosions around the international airport and the presidential palace, while the sound of gunfire continued in various parts of the city. The nature of the attacks or the responsible parties remain unclear, and authorities have not issued any statements or provided details about casualties. These developments come amid increasing security challenges in the country, where armed groups linked to Al-Qaeda and ISIS are active. Since the July 2023 coup that ousted the former president, the Nigerien military has been in control, and Niamey is now moving to strengthen its relations with Russia amid declining Western support.
