 Niger says military activity in capital brought under control Niger's defense minister said Saturday that military activity in the capital, Niamey, had been brought under control and security forces had regained control of critical sites that were targeted. Gen. Salifou Mody's remarks were broadcast on national television after heavy gunfire and explosions were reported around Diori Hamani International Airport and the presidential palace in Niamey. Mody said a group of soldiers had "broken away from military order" and attempted to detain some of their fellow soldiers at the Base 101 military facility in Niamey before opening fire on several critical sites in the capital. He said the activity was brought under control thanks to the swift intervention of Nigerien defense and security forces, adding that control was gradually restored in the targeted areas. Mody urged residents of Niamey to remain calm and continue their daily activities as usual.

 Arizona declares state of emergency after powerful microburst causes widespread damage

A state of emergency has been declared in Tempe, Arizona, as crews continue to recover from a powerful microburst that caused widespread destruction across hundreds of homes and businesses. The storm swept through the city and Maricopa County on Monday, with winds estimated at 80-90 mph, uprooting trees, ripping roofs off buildings, and tossing mobile homes from their foundations.

Tempe Mayor Corey Woods described the scene as devastating, noting the loss of over 500 trees in city parks alone and emphasizing that no fatalities occurred despite the violent conditions. Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs issued an emergency declaration for Maricopa and neighboring Gila County, releasing $200,000 in immediate funds and mobilizing state resources to aid recovery. Officials report more than 750 homes and 70 small businesses sustained damage, and over 130 residents have been displaced. The storm, fueled by remnants of Tropical Storm Raymond, also caused widespread power outages, leaving more than 34,000 people without electricity. Emergency responders faced overwhelming demand, with police receiving 369 calls in a single hour and fire crews responding to 170 calls over three hours. State officials say the next step is to seek federal assistance to support ongoing relief efforts.
