What happened
Niger’s defence ministry on Sunday said its forces were gradually regaining control after an attack by mutinous soldiers on Saturday. The mutineers stormed the presidential palace and camped at a military base in Niamey's main airport, resisting efforts from loyalist forces, until Russia’s Africa Corps intervened, several analysts said.
