Macedonian Army Says Attacked by Albanian Gunmen
May 23
— SKOPJE (Reuters) - The Macedonian army said on Thursday ethnic Albanian gunmen attacked an army post by the Kosovo border, describing it as one of the most serious incidents directed at its forces since last year's conflict.
An army spokesman said "Albanian terrorists" using machineguns and hand-held rocket launchers fired late on Wednesday at an army watchtower in northwestern Macedonia near the border with U.N.-administered Kosovo.
The soldiers returned fire and after a one-hour gun battle the attackers fled toward nearby mountains, he told Reuters, adding that no one on the government side was hurt.
"This is absolutely the most serious incident in some time, because if they had hit the tower with the rockets we would have suffered great damage," the spokesman said.
The incident reflected the fragility of peace in Macedonia, nine months after ethnic Albanian guerrillas agreed to disband under a Western-brokered deal in return for measures to boost rights for their minority community.
The NATO mission could not immediately confirm the incident, saying none of its 700 peacekeeping troops in the country had been in the remote area at the time. "We are still gathering information on what happened," a NATO official said.
