Chadian troops have deployed on their border after a clash with Sudan forces.
A Chadian government spokesman said the troops would protect local civilians and refugees from the Darfur region of Sudan who are sheltering in the area.
The clash is the first to involve army troops since Sudanese civilians began fleeing into Chad a year ago.
The incident occurred after Arab militia staged a cross-border raid in Chad. Chad troops pursued them until they encountered Sudanese forces.
