Ivorian troops repeatedly fired into the air today in the barracks town of Adiake, east of the commercial capital Abidjan, residents said, weeks after troops and security forces mutinied.

"There is shooting all over the place. I closed my shop," Mariame Coulibaly told AFP by telephone.

An Ivorian defence ministry source said a high-ranking officer was on his way to the town which lies around 100 kilometres from Abidjan.
