Chad's government said security forces had foiled an attempt to destabilise the country on Wednesday evening, after bursts of gunfire rang out near the president's office in the capital N'Djamena and the military blocked the surrounding streets, APA reports citing Reuters.
In a video shot at the presidential headquarters, government spokesperson Abderaman Koulamallah said the situation was completely under control, without giving details on what had happened.
"It was a little incident ... everything is calm," he said in the footage posted on Facebook. "This whole attempt at destabilisation has been thwarted."
