— In Niger, what's described as "jihadists elements" within the Army mutinied. Details are sketchy but it looks more like an attempted a coup. According to Niger's Defence Minister General Salifou Mody, the conflict was an attempted coup or collective mutiny. A group of rogue Nigerien soldiers broke military regulations, detained fellow troops at the Base 101 barracks, and opened fire on sensitive city targets, including the presidential palace.
