Loud Gunfire Heard in Capital of Chad N’Djamena, Reports Say
MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Loud gunfire can be heard in N’Djamena, the capital of Chad, on Wednesday due to an attack on buildings of the Chadian National Directorate of Security, the ChadOne news agency reported, citing eyewitnesses.
Movement of tanks and armored vehicles can be seen, according to the news agency. The government forces are reported attacking the headquarters of the
opposition Socialist Party without Borders.
Earlier in the day, the Chadian Communications Ministry said that several people have died as a result of an attack on buildings of the Chadian National Directorate of Security, with the country's authorities blaming members of an opposition party for the incident.
Chad's opposition party, the Socialist Party without Borders, has allegedly called for the assassination of the head of the Chadian Supreme Court, but an attempt has never been committed, the ministry said, adding that the secretary of the party, who is responsible for its funding, had been detained.
"Despite this fact, the situation took a dramatic turn due to the deliberate attack by his [the secretary's] accomplices led by elements of the Socialist Party without Borders and its president, Yaya Dillo, on the buildings of the country's national security directorate, which resulted in several deaths," the ministry said on social media.
The situation in the country is currently under control, with all those involved in the
attack detained or put on the wanted list, the statement read.
