Security forces in Co Fermanagh came under fire in twos separate incidents last night. There were no injuries in either attack. In the first incident a high velocity shot struck a watchtower at a vehicle checkpoint at Killyvilly in Rosslea, Co Fermanagh, at 9.25 p.m. An RUC spokesman said the single shot was followed by a burst of automatic gunfire.
A half hour later, a sustained burst of automatic gunfire was directed at British soldiers at a permanent checkpoint at Clonatty Bridge in Rosslea. The security forces believe that the shots were fired from the Border and may have come from the Republic. A full examination of both scenes will take place after daybreak.
