Russian forces stop Niger coup
Under the pressure of a military rebellion that lasted for more than 20 hours in Niamey, rebel soldiers affiliated with the Nigerien army attempted to seize key locations, including the presidential palace and the 101st military base housing the headquarters of the Russian force "African Legion." The intervention of government forces and swift response gradually restored control over the capital, with some rebels being held inside the military base. The Russian military played a crucial role in confronting and neutralizing the rebels through air and ground support, utilizing drones and helicopters. The operation resulted in the deaths and arrests of many rebels. The rebellion was primarily driven by failures in counter-terrorism strategies, economic deterioration, and delayed salary payments, which caused widespread discontent among the soldiers.
