An apparent mutiny by junior soldiers at a military base in Niger's capital has resulted in dozens killed or arrested, according to state television reports.1 The uprising occurred at a military facility within the Diori Hamani International Airport complex in Niamey on Saturday, with gunfire and explosions continuing through Saturday night into Sunday.12 The rebels, described as young soldiers from insecure regions including the country's southwest, seized officers and fired on sensitive locations before the mutiny was suppressed.1
The Russian Africa Corps provided crucial air and ground support to government-loyal forces in crushing the rebellion, which authorities characterized as a significant threat to the military-led administration.1 Russian diplomatic officials stated that "Niger's military, with the assistance of Russian Africa Corps Defense Ministry personnel, repelled the attack."2 The 101 Air Base, which hosts Niger's military aircraft and drones alongside Sahel Alliance counter-terrorism forces and personnel from Russia and Italy, was a focal point of the unrest.2 Niger's Defense Minister Salifu Modi accused the mutineers of violating military discipline and regulations, though authorities have not disclosed the exact number of soldiers involved or casualty figures.12 This represents the third attack on the base this year, following two previous assaults by militant groups.1 General Abdourahmane Tiani, who assumed the presidency after leading a coup last year that ousted the elected leader, retained power through the suppression of the rebellion.2
