In a violent confrontation, 24 heavily armed assailants attacked Chad's presidential palace, resulting in 19 deaths and heightened security measures across the capital.
The assault on the presidential complex by armed fighters occurred during a sensitive period, following controversial elections and the recent withdrawal of French military support.
Chad's government is attempting to manage the situation while conflicting reports about the attackers' identities circulate on social media, adding to the uncertainty.
The government spokesman reported that the attackers, although armed, used knives instead of firearms, which raises questions about their resources and intentions.
