FR Yugoslavia

THREE MORE AIR STRIKES BY NATO FORCES. NATO air strikes continued on March
25 on the territory of the FRY. After two initial attacks on Wednesday
evening and night, NATO's forces carried out three more strikes.

Air-raid sirens were first heard in Belgrade at 9:35 a.m., then in
Kragujevac and Pristina. The "All Clear" was sounded around 11:55 a.m.. The
first announcement of the second attack was heard in Nis at 1:30 p.m., and
soon after that in Belgrade, while the relief signal was sounded two and a
half hours later. During the morning and in the early afternoon, life in
most cities, except Pristina, was going on as usual.

The third, so far strongest and most extensive attack by NATO forces against
the FRY, started around 7:00 p.m., when sirens started wailing again in
Belgrade, Podgorica, Pristina, Nis, Novi Sad, Kragujevac, Kraljevo, Pancevo,
Uzice and many other cities. There are complete or partial black-outs in
most cities. The "All Clear" was sounded around 11:30 p.m..

The local television in Kraljevo around 9:00 p.m. broadcast an appeal to
surgeons to urgently report to hospitals, and to citizens to donate blood.
Around 20 detonations were heard in the Kraljevo region.

Radio Nis reported, quoting the city's military department, that "the
military airport, one barracks and a TV transmitter on Mt. Jastrebac were
hit with several missiles." The NTV television in Nis reported earlier that
there were no casualties.

Radio Television Montenegro reported that one cruise missile struck a
village near Danilovgrad, injuring one woman. Two powerful blasts were heard
around 8:45 p.m. from the direction of the Golubovci airport near Podgorica.
It was said that the Yugoslav Army barracks in Ulcinj was also hit. Streets
of Podgorica were completely deserted.

Three loud explosions were heard around 9:50 p.m. near Leskovac. Military
facilities were hit, and windows were shattered on the surrounding civilian
buildings. There is no information about eventual victims so far.

Two bombs also exploded near Cacak, report local TV stations, saying that
airplanes were heard in the town just seconds before the blasts. The
Ladjevci airport near Kraljevo was reported to be in flames. Parts of Cacak
were without power.

The Serbian Broadcasting Corporation reported after the third NATO strike
that defense units on the territory of Kosovo and Metohija, in the region
between Pristina and Podujevo, shot down one NATO plane and intercepted more
than 15 cruise missiles.

"The criminal attacks of NATO airplanes are directed primarily against
military and police facilities, but also against television, post-offices
and radio stations, in order to prevent the truth about the aggression and
crimes NATO is committing against the Serb people from being heard in the
world," the Corporation's reporter from Kosovo said.

The same source said aircraft and missiles were coming from the territories
of Albania, Macedonia and, for the first time, from Bulgaria.

The Belgrade daily Danas March 26 issue was printed on only eight pages,

told BETA.

The paper's editorial office decided not to print the Wednesday issue, in
protest against NATO attacks against the country.

As BETA learned, the Podgorica daily DT will not appear on the streets on
Friday either.

The March 26 issue of Glas Javnosti daily was also printed on a reduced
number of pages, due to "the situation in the homeland."
