Sarajevo Endures Heaviest Shelling in Two Years
In Sarajevo the Old Town vendors fled for cover as the heaviest shelling in two years hit the Bosnian capital. Up to three shells per minute landed while government forces and rebel Serbs fought across five frontline sectors. A 12 year old girl was killed and her brother critically injured, bringing at least five deaths and 25 wounded by nightfall. NATO warned of possible air strikes, but the UN said no strikes would be called. Peacekeepers, including Russians and French, were injured or escaped unharmed as fighting subsided with pledges to react only in self defense.
