Armed Attack on Niger Army Base Leaves 34 Soldiers Dead
Imagine bad guys on motorbikes attacked a military base in Niger, near Mali.
Sadly, a lot of soldiers were killed, and others were hurt.
The attackers were called mercenaries, which means they were probably hired to do this.
They used cars and bikes to get to the base.
The government of Niger said this happened, and they are probably trying to figure out why.
Armed men attacked a Niger army base near the Mali border.
The attack resulted in at least 34 soldiers killed and 14 wounded.
The attackers, described as "mercenaries", used vehicles and motorbikes.
The raid took place in Bani-bangou.
