Chadian security forces successfully repelled an attack by suspected Boko Haram terrorists in the presidential palace in N’Djamena on Wednesday. The Directorate General of Security Services and Internal Exile (DGSSIE) neutralized several attackers and took others into custody.
Footage circulating on social media captured the swift response of the DGSSIE, showing security forces engaging the attackers. Officials confirmed that the situation has been brought under control, with key government personnel and institutions secured.
While the exact number of casualties remains undisclosed, reports indicate that some attackers were captured alive, potentially yielding critical intelligence for future counterterrorism efforts.
