Nicaragua Denies Troops Headed Toward Honduras

Micheletti warned that Honduras would defend itself if neighbouring Nicaraguan troops crossed the border into Honduras. Micheletti said that he doubted that the order was coming from the Nicaraguan presidency, but nonetheless issued the warning of reprisals.

Nicaraguan president, Daniel Ortega, denied any military troop build up at the Honduras border.

"Brother Honduran soldiers, brother Honduran officials, I want to assure you, swearing before God and nation, that Nicaragua is not deploying troops towards Honduras and that we are not preparing any kind of attack on Honduran garrisons on the border," Ortega said on national radio in Nicaragua.

Ortega said that the Michelletti and other coup leaders are trying to deflect attention from the conflict in Honduras by creating the idea that the conflict is really with Nicaragua.
