 Jihadists attack a police post overnight in Niger's troubled frontier zone with Burkina Faso. They killed three policemen and wounded seven others. Since 2017, Jihadist groups have rocked the Tillerbury region, a vast area covering 100,000 square kilometers near the border with Mali and Burkina Faso. The Flashpoint area is frequently targeted by Islamic State in the Greater Sahara and the al-Qaeda-affiliated group for the support of Islam and Muslims.
