The UN says its helicopter gunships have fired rockets and
machine guns at militiamen who attacked them as they
patrolled the skies over eastern Congo's troubled Ituri
province.
UN peacekeeping spokesman Madnoge Mounoubay says two UN
helicopters were conducting an aerial reconnaissance mission
near the village of Kagaba when ground-based militiamen
opened fire.
Madnoge says no peacekeepers were wounded in the incident and
the helicopters landed safely, though bullets struck one of
the choppers.
