Russian Vs U.S Troops In African Nation: Putin's Army Takes Over U.S And French Bases In Niger
The US military is finalizing its withdrawal from Air Base 101 in Niger, with a farewell ceremony for the last C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft scheduled soon.
US Air Force Major General Kenneth Ekman shared that the morale among American troops is 'mixed' as they prepare to leave.
The Nigerien government will take control of the base, and Russian instructors are already on-site to train Niger's military.

A tragic accident in Niger state, Nigeria, claimed at least 48 lives when a fuel tanker collided with a truck, leading to a massive explosion. The tanker, carrying gasoline and cattle, set two other vehicles on fire, with 50 cattle burned alive. Authorities recovered 48 bodies and conducted a mass burial. This incident highlights Nigeria’s road safety issues, exacerbated by a lack of railway systems for cargo transportation, contributing to frequent fatal accidents.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dismissed General Mykola Oleshchuk from his position as head of the Ukrainian Air Force following a public dispute related to a fatal F-16 jet crash. The incident, which resulted in the death of pilot Aleksey ‘Moonfish’ Mes, has ignited a heated controversy between Oleshchuk and MP Mariana Bezuglaya from Zelenskyy’s ruling Servant of the People party. Bezuglaya claimed that the jet was accidentally downed by a US-donated Patriot air defence system, a statement Oleshchuk vehemently denied, accusing her of undermining the military and aiding Russian propaganda.
