Gunfire erupted at Niger's capital airport in Niamey on Wednesday, BBC World reports. It's another security incident at the airport—suspected jihadists attacked the same location back in January. Niger has been battling a militant Islamist insurgency for over a decade. Details on what triggered the shooting and any possible casualties remain unclear at this time.
