  • Story Text: NATO planes bombed targets just outside the Bosnian Serb headquarters town of Pale around 4.45 p.m. (1445 GMT) on Wednesday (August 30) in a fresh wave of attacks, witnesses said.

    Reuters Television pictures from Pale showed what appeared to be NATO bombs hitting a mountaintop just outside Pale, 12 miles (20 kilometres southeast of Sarajevo.

    Huge explosions sent black clouds billowing into the air and heavy anti-aircraft machinegun fire could be heard.

    Damage was also evident in the village of Sokalic, 15 miles (25 kilometres) east of Pale. The farmhouses were allegedly damaged by NATO airstrikes.
