Saudi Press Agency Published in Saudi Press Agency on 18 - 10 - 2004


Ukrainian soldiers exchanged fired
with insurgents who attacked a checkpoint in central Iraq,
but no injuries or damage resulted, the Polish military
said Thursday.
Ten mortar rounds exploded close to the checkpoint north
of Suwariyah late Wednesday, Polish Lt. Col. Artur Domanski
said by phone from Iraq.
The Ukrainians returned fire, forcing the attackers to
withdraw, Domanski added.
Poland commands about 6,000 troops in central Iraq from 15
countries, including about 1,650 Ukrainians.
