Russian Soldiers Enter Airbase Housing US Forces In Niger | Firstpost America

Tensions are running high in West Africa as Russian and American troops are stationed at the same military base in Niger. The troops of the two rivals are sharing Airbase 101 in the country's capital city of Niamey. However, the reports suggest that the soldiers are based in different hangars and are not mingling with each other.

Addressing the concerns, the US said that Russian troops did not have access to American equipment. Watch our video to know more.
