At least 30 villagers have been killed in a series of armed raids carried out in western Niger, near the border with Nigeria, according to local authorities.
The attacks reportedly took place in the Tahoua Region, where armed assailants targeted multiple communities in coordinated assaults. The local governor confirmed that dozens of residents lost their lives during the raids, which have left the affected areas in shock and mourning.
Details surrounding the attackers remain unclear, but the region has experienced recurring insecurity in recent years, with armed groups frequently targeting rural settlements close to border areas.
Authorities say efforts are ongoing to assess the full extent of the damage and to strengthen security in the affected communities.
