Irish troops say came under fire in Chad fighting

GOZ-BEIDA, Chad, June 14 (Reuters) - Irish troops serving with a European military force in eastern Chad came under fire while monitoring fighting between the Chadian army and rebels on Saturday, and they returned "warning fire", an officer said.

"It is not clear who fired upon our troops ... There are no Irish casualties and all vehicles are operational," Commandant Gavin Young, a spokesman for the Irish forces in Chad, said. (Reporting by Finbarr O'Reilly; Writing by Pascal Fletcher)
