This marks the second major mosque attack in the region this year. In March, 44 people were killed during a similar assault at a Friday prayer service in Fambita village.

Tillaberi, located near the "tri-border area" between Niger, Mali, and Burkina Faso, has been a hotspot for violence since 2017, with armed groups affiliated with al-Qaeda and ISIS operating in the region.

As of now, Nigerien authorities have not issued an official statement regarding the incident.
