Chad claims it bombed Sudan backed rebels in eastern Chad-not in Sudan
 Chadian government spokesman Mahamat Hissene denied accusations that it launched air raids on Darfur region, saying it had  bombed rebel positions within its own territory in eastern Chad near the Sudan border. The  target, he said, was Chadian rebels (supported by Sudan) and  accused Sudan of trying to send in "mercenaries with arms and mines to destabilize us."

Sudanese senior military officials said there were no casualties but that the Sudanese army was on "standby" and waiting for "the green light for retaliation".

In May, Chadian rebels coming from Sudan  launched an offensive against Ndjamena in the latest of several attempts to oust President Idriss Deby, but Chad's army forced them back into Sudan where they are based and where they train.
