Russian Troops Enter US Military Base In Niger Amid Rising Tensions
Russian military personnel have reportedly entered an airbase in Niger, which also houses U.S. troops. This move comes after the junta in Niger ordered the expulsion of U.S. forces.
What Happened: A senior U.S. defense official revealed to Reuters that Russian military personnel have entered Airbase 101 in Niger, where U.S. troops are stationed. “(The situation) is not great but in the short-term manageable,” the official said.
This comes after the junta in Niger ordered the expulsion of U.S. forces, which had been a crucial partner for the U.S. in its fight against insurgents until a coup last year.
