N'DJAMENA, Chad (AP) - Government forces clashed with army deserters in an eastern border town, killing about 300 militants in the biggest recent offensive against rebels, officials said Monday.
Five soldiers and three civilians also died in Sunday's raid to retake control of Adre, 620 miles east of the capital of N'djamena, the army said in a statement read on state-owned Radio Chad.
The clash was with two rebel groups — the Rally for Democracy and Freedom and the Foundation for Change, Unity and Democracy, the army said.
