Niamey (AFP) – Ten soldiers were killed and another seven wounded in a "terrorist attack" in western Niger near the border with Burkina Faso, the army said in its operational bulletin on Wednesday.
As well as Tuesday's attack in the village of Petel Kole, social media was awash with claims that another savage assault had taken place in Chatoumane, in the same western region, but the ruling junta denied those "unfounded claims".
