Niger regains control after Niamey attack

The Military Council in Niger has confirmed the gradual regain of control over the situation following an armed attack targeting a military base and the Niamey airport. Rebels seized soldiers and fired upon sensitive sites. Authorities urged residents to remain calm and carry on with their lives, despite heavy gunfire heard in multiple areas of the capital, especially around the presidential palace and the airport. These clashes represent the third such incidents this year and reflect the ongoing insecurity in the country following the coup in Niger in 2023, during which the rebels attempted to target Diori Hamani Airport and the airbase. However, security forces managed to regain control of the targeted areas.
