Niger attacks on sovereign sites and TV outage
In an armed attack targeting Diori Hamani International Airport and the airbase in Niamey, the capital of Niger, this morning, the city experienced explosions and heavy gunfire, coinciding with a blackout of the official television broadcast. Security forces managed to regain control of the military headquarters and the surrounding area of the presidential palace after extensive sweeping operations. The attack resulted in the fleeing of many assailants and the neutralization of several others, although clashes renewed before dawn. This is the third such attack this year, claimed by armed groups that have previously targeted the site, amidst ongoing security challenges and threats of rebellion.
