Nigeria Withdraws Fighter Jets from Benin Republic Amid Coup Attempt
The Nigerian military has withdrawn fighter jets from Benin Republic after a failed military coup attempt in the neighboring country. President Patric Talon's government successfully thwarted the coup led by mutinous military personnel.
The rebels seized control of state-run offices and a television station, but security forces swiftly responded, isolating the mutineers. Negotiations for a peaceful surrender were reported to be ongoing.
The situation remains tense but relatively calm in Cotonou, with no widespread violence reported.
