An armed attack on the prefect of Bilma's delegation on June 21 resulted in the kidnapping of Commander Amadou Torda and six others. The body of a National Guard officer was later found near the attack site. The incident occurred near Bilma as the delegation was returning from a peace event. This attack comes amid heightened security threats in the region, involving bandits and rebel movements, and just before the planned launch of oil exploitation projects by SONIDEP.
