Niger's capital, Niamey, returned to normalcy after a mutiny by young soldiers that challenged the ruling military junta. The unrest involved sustained gunfire and clashes primarily at the main airport, which hosts a key military base and Russia's Africa Corps headquarters. Loyalist forces, supported by Russian troops, suppressed the mutiny, leading to the arrest or killing of many soldiers. The incident occurred amid growing concerns over insecurity and jihadi attacks, which have fueled internal tensions within the military. The junta leader, Abdourahamane Tchiani, remained silent on the issue.
