# Niger’s military government says it has regained control of key sites in the capital, Niamey, after mutinous soldiers attacked the airport and presidential palace. Dozens of soldiers were reportedly killed or arrested after hours of gunfire and explosions. State television, which was briefly taken off air, later showed footage of detained troops. The government says the situation is now calm, although the fate of military leader General Abdourahamane Tiani remains unclear. The apparent mutiny is the latest challenge to the junta, which seized power in a 2023 coup.
