Shots heard inside military camp in Ivory Coast's Abidjan

Gunshots rang out inside a military base in an upscale neighbourhood of Abidjan on Saturday in the latest bout of unrest following a mutiny by troops in the north over wages. "Shots were heard here in Abidjan at the Akouedo military base," a newsflash on national television said, referring to a camp in the northern sector of the city, which is Ivory Coast's economic capital.
Troops closed off a large junction near the Akouedo base, leaving all roads leading to the camp gridlocked with traffic and hampering access to several neighbouring districts, witnesses and an AFP correspondent said.
