Bullets and explosions echoed all night in the capital of Niger

Witness accounts indicate that the recent unrest was particularly concentrated in the districts surrounding the Presidential Palace and the international airport. A correspondent from dpa reported that the shooting commenced around 1 a.m. (0.00 Greenwich time) and continued for approximately six hours.

Initially, the source of the unrest and its underlying causes were unclear. The Presidential Palace sustained intensive shelling from mortars and firearms, according to a recording provided by former President Mohamed Bazoum, who was ousted by the military in 2023. The information was relayed by Hamido Amadou N‘gadé, the former communications adviser.

The report also included related, seemingly unrelated news items concerning Spain, such as reports of a Lithuanian man being injured in a beach bar during a shooting incident, and another tragedy in Spain where three people, including a pregnant woman, were killed in what was described as a revenge act. Furthermore, there were mentions of chaotic scenes in a Spanish city characterized by a high presence of migrants. In summary, the primary focus of the initial report concerns the violence surrounding the Presidential Palace.

According to the accounts, the unrest involved significant shelling at the palace, with details provided by former officials.
