Niger Airport Attacked, Gunfire Heard
Gunfire and explosions were heard at Niamey airport in Niger for several hours. The attack occurred amid a severe economic crisis. Over the past day, the aviation, missile forces, and artillery of the Defense Forces hit 17 areas of enemy troop concentration, four artillery systems, and two UAV control points. Gunfire erupted early Thursday morning at the airport in Niamey, the capital of Niger, according to residents who spoke to AFP. Details regarding the nature of the attack and potential casualties are still emerging. Drones were detected approaching the Sumy region, with Putivl and Konotop at risk. This incident follows a suspected jihadist attack on the same site in January. The country has been engaged in a decade-long fight against militants. This is the second report of an attack on a Nigerien airport today.
