The former colonial power France is being accused of attempting to undermine Niger by the country’s military dictatorship.
It claimed that a French aircraft had violated the country’s closed airspace.
Additionally, it claimed that in order to assault military targets, French soldiers had released detained jihadists.
The French government has not yet responded.
Mohamed Bazoum, the legitimately elected president of Niger, was deposed at the end of last month, and since then, the coup leaders have resisted diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had claimed to have spoken with Mr. Bazoum and given him assurances of continued support.
On Thursday, the regional bloc Ecowas, which has threatened military involvement, is expected to convene to discuss its next course of action.
