Footage of burning buildings is being shared online alongside the false claim it shows Nigeria’s embassy in Niger being attacked amid unrest sparked by a coup. However, the video actually shows an assault on different buildings – the headquarters of the deposed president’s party - in Niger’s capital, Niamey. However, the footage shows the headquarters of the Nigerien – not Nigerian – Party for Democracy and Socialism. The video was addressed in a separate Reuters fact-check amid claims it showed an assault on France’s embassy in Niger (here). The footage shows an attack on Niger’s ruling party headquarters, not the Nigerian embassy in the country.
