Dozens of pro-government militiamen were killed yesterday in attacks on security posts in the Tillaberi region of Niger, according to a single security-affiliated source.

A security-affiliated source reports an assault on multiple pro-government positions in Niger's Tillaberi region that occurred yesterday. The attacks targeted army posts in the town of Tassia, the military and national guard camps in Bani Bangou, and the military camp in Inates, leaving dozens of pro-government militiamen dead. The identity of the attackers remains unreported. The Tillaberi region has seen repeated attacks by jihadist groups in recent years. The Zioneer has previously reported on a wave of attacks on military installations in Niger, including a foiled infiltration of Niamey airport and a reported arrest campaign of suspected collaborators in the capital. Those preceding events match the geographic and security context, though no direct continuity has been established.
