On the morning of March 11, warning shots were fired at the border between Guinea and Liberia near the locality of Kiéssènèye, close to the city of Guéckédou. This incident reflects growing tensions regarding territorial claims, with both countries asserting sovereignty over the same area. While the situation appears to have calmed, the responsibility for these shots remains unclear, adding to the complexity of the border dispute.

According to a local Liberian source, the Guinean army fired shots towards Liberian civilians who had gathered near the Makona River, which resulted in one injury; the victim was taken to JFK Hospital in Monrovia. This account highlights the potential for violence and misinterpretation in such tense situations, particularly given the proximity of civilian populations to military actions. The incident underscores the delicate nature of the relationship between the two nations along their contentious border.

However, several Guinean sources present at the scene on the same day disputed this version, claiming that the gunfire actually originated from the Liberian side as Guinean law enforcement sought to maintain order. This contradictory information complicates the narrative and suggests that further investigation and dialogue are crucial to resolve tensions and prevent escalation in this area that both nations claim as their own.
