The Niger Army thwarted an attack on a mining site
According to the military, they retrieved four Toyota cars, including the burning one, and killed three of the attackers while putting an end to the attack.
According to the Niger Army, it successfully repelled a bandit raid on a mining site in Tabarkat, northeast of Arlit.
The Niger Army claimed in a statement that eight trucks were used by the terrorists to get to the mining location.
The army claimed that because its forces arrived early, the onslaught was thwarted and the attackers were driven to the country's north.
The military stated that they are still looking for the attackers. According to the military, they recovered four Toyota automobiles, including the burned-out one, and killed three of the attackers during the attack.
However, one Toyota-based military vehicle was destroyed by the attackers.
The soldiers added that they also found several rocket launchers, an automatic rifle, and their ammunition.
Abdou Sidikou Issa, the commander of Niger's armed forces, praised the force and urged those who are confident in defending the nation.
In the Republic of Niger, jihadists and bandits frequently carry out attacks.
Five troops were killed by the bandits just a few days earlier in Niger's gold mining region close to Algeria.
Then, in May, a mine in the Tillaberi district, which is a region of the country that experiences insecurity, killed seven national soldiers.
