Framing Analysis
Gunmen attacked Diori Hamani International Airport in Niamey, Niger, killing 11 soldiers and 2 civilians; JNIM claimed responsibility for the strike on the facility that houses the ruling military's air force base and serves as headquarters for a regional security alliance. The incident marks the second attack on the airport this year, following a January assault by ISSP militants that also targeted drones. Broader militant activity includes Al-Qaida-linked operations around Mali's capital.
