On 6 August, non-state armed group (NSAG) members attacked a national NGO in Garin Dogo village, Gueskerou District, western Diffa region, while the convoy of six vehicles was traveling to Tchintchindi village for food distributions. One person was injured during the attack. Although direct attacks on aid workers are seldom in the region, humanitarian workers are exposed to security incidents due to the proximity of the Gueskerou District to the Nigerian border, where the activities of NSAGs persist. Several attacks reportedly perpetrated by NSAGs have also been reported in the region since early August. Hundreds of cattle were stolen in the Kindjandi and Dagaye villages (Gueskerou and Toumour Districts, respectively), and shops were looted. Nine farmers were kidnapped in Ngouba village (Toumour District) and food supplies were stolen from vehicles transporting goods on the Walada and Marweye roads (Chetimati District).
