Macedonian police say the border patrol exchanged fire with a group of Albanian hunters who apparently strayed into the country.
Police say two Albanian men have been detained and no injuries were reported.
Police spokesman Stefan Dimoski said the incident occurred early Friday in a border area near the southern Lake Ohrid.
Dimoski tells The Associated Press that the patrol came under fire from a group of about ten Albanian hunters, and returned fire. He says two men with hunting rifles were detained, and the rest fled back into neighboring Albania.
It was not immediately clear what triggered the gunfire.
