Chad took the offensive in its civil war. The Army of Chad attacked Libyan forces in the northern village of Aozou and routed them.

They then raided a Libyan air base that was being used to support the Libyan war effort in Chad. The Chadian Army claimed to have destroyed 26 Libyan planes. A cease-fire was soon negotiated.(History Central)
