Algerian troops have entered Niger in a rare regional intervention, per The Arab Weekly. This move follows escalating tensions between Niger and Chad over border security and alleged drone attacks.

Niger accuses Chad of orchestrating a drone strike that killed two civilians, Africanews reports. Chad has rejected these accusations and called for an independent investigation into the incident.

The conflict has drawn international attention as both nations flout their obligations under regional agreements, according to Reporters Without Borders. Niamey's handling of the situation continues to strain diplomatic relations in West Africa.
