Security forces are battling mutinous soldiers after a rebellion at a key military base. The mutiny has led to sustained gunfire and explosions in sensitive locations, including the main airport and a district near the presidential palace. Authorities reported the unrest on Saturday.

The country has been struggling with jihadi violence and killings of security forces since a coup in 2023. This has led to unrest within the military, according to observers. Further details about the situation are available, including the deployment of security forces to key locations and the country's relations with Western security partners and Russia.
