INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Niger formally accused "Macron's French regime" of masterminding last week's failed mutiny in Niamey. Mutinous soldiers attacked the presidential palace, an air base, and state TV before being crushed by loyalist forces backed by Russia's Africa Corps. At least three guards were killed, dozens of mutineers arrested. Niger thanked Russia, Algeria, and its Sahel allies for support. France called the accusations "pure fantasies."
