N’djamena, 18 May-(ANA)-Chad's government has admitted for the first time sending its armed forces into Sudanese territory.
Chad said it had ended air raids against "mercenaries" in Sudan and destroyed seven groups of fighters.
Defence Minister Adoum Younousmi said hundreds of prisoners had been taken and would be displayed soon.
Sudan began on Thursday to complain of the raids, which Chad said were a justified pursuit of rebels who had entered its territory from Sudan.
Mr Younousmi said Chadian planes and troops had made three trips about 30km (19 miles) into the Darfur region of Sudan, in order to attack positions belonging to Chadian rebels.
But he stressed the target had been neither Sudan's government nor its people and said there had been no collateral damage.(ANA)
