According to the news agency, footage showing dozens of detainees, mostly young soldiers, was broadcast by the RTN state-run television and radio company. Clashes continued for several hours in various areas of Niamey, after which security forces managed to gradually bring the situation under control, detain, and neutralize the participants in the uprising. For its part, the AFP news agency reported that several mutineers were killed during an operation by the presidential guard to regain control of Air Base 101. The Nigerien authorities have not yet released official figures on the number of detainees, fatalities, or injuries.
