Niger: Guard Stops Rebel Assault
The Republican Guard forces in Niger repelled an attack carried out by rebels near the presidential palace in Niamey. The ongoing clashes have been taking place since last night around the 101st Base and the airport, with attempts underway to breach the security perimeter around the presidential residence. The government confirmed that security forces stationed in the targeted areas managed to neutralize the attackers and regain control of the situation, though several of the assailants were injured and others escaped. These attacks come within the context of ongoing security challenges the country has faced from terrorist groups for over ten years.
