A military detachment was ambushed as it moved between the villages of Boni and Torodi in the Tillaberi region in Niger.
Experts say the ambush is a sign of possible escalation, as militant factions move into the security void caused by the coup.
Niger’s junta supporters are calling for the mass mobilisation of citizens to defend the coup against regional bloc ECOWAS.
New US envoy Kathleen FitzGibbon is expected to arrive in Niamey within days, after the US not having an ambassador in Niger for nearly two years.
