Panic gripped Ivandry early Saturday evening as gunfire erupted during the passage of the presidential convoy of Colonel Michaël Randrianirina, head of the Refoundation, as he returned home. The shots immediately alarmed residents, particularly as armed attacks have become recurring in several capital districts, including downtown areas. Many initially believed it was another shooting before the Presidency issued its account. In a statement, the Presidential Communication Directorate indicated that a drone had already been spotted the previous day following the vehicle carrying the head of state before rapidly departing. Saturday evening, two additional drones were reportedly observed over the La City-Ivandry sector as the presidential convoy circulated in the area. According to official communications, the President's bodyguards immediately opened fire at these devices. However, the drones were operating at very high altitude, allowing them to escape the shots. The convoy continued its route while a third drone was reportedly spotted at great distance. Colonel Michaël Randrianirina eventually arrived safely at his residence, where security measures were reinforced. Competent authorities were tasked with identifying the origin of these drones and determining the exact circumstances of their presence. This new alert comes following the discovery of trucks conducting embankment work on land along the By-Pass. These works were subsequently suspended. While no official link has been established between the two events, some observers question a possible retaliatory response against the head of state following this decision. This interpretation remains analytical and does not appear in the Presidency's statement. This is not the first time authorities have mentioned drones around the head of state. In April, the Presidential Communication Director, Harry Laurent Rahajason, announced that five drones had flown over Colonel Michaël Randrianirina's residence. He then mentioned a possible assassination attempt against the President, without the alleged perpetrators being publicly identified or material evidence being released. Since the transition leader took power following Andry Rajoelina's fall in October 2025, his entourage has repeatedly announced alleged assassination attempts against the president. Several political figures, notably supporters of the former regime, have been detained in these matters. However, to date, none of these cases has resulted in the public presentation of evidence confirming their reality. This absence of verifiable elements naturally fuels questions from part of public opinion. If such attempts genuinely occurred, their alleged perpetrators never acted. This succession of announcements appears to confirm former President Marc Ravalomanana's statements from June 26. The founder of Tiako i Madagasikara (TIM), one of the country's largest political parties, believed that destabilization accusations repeatedly brandished by authorities were merely a "pure invention." But apparently, this does not allow for definitive conclusions. In any case, this new drone affair will undoubtedly reignite debate between supporters of the thesis of a real threat against the head of state and those who believe public evidence remains insufficient to dispel all doubts.
