A unit of the Nigerien armed forces neutralized four terrorists and apprehended three others in Mountséka, situated in the Tahoua region of western Niger, according to a report from the military in its weekly news bulletin on Thursday.
The terrorists targeted a unit assigned to secure operations along the oil pipeline near the Fulani camp in Mountséka early Monday morning.
In response to the severity of the attack, the Defense and Security Forces (FDS) “reacted decisively, launching a strong counterattack,” the military stated, expressing regret over the loss of one soldier’s life and the injury of another during the encounter.
