BBC Defence Correspondent Mark Laity says the reported capture is a propoganda coup for the Serbs, and an embarrassment for Nato. He says questions are bound to be asked about what the men's vehicle was doing out of sight of other troops, so close to one of the most dangerous borders in Europe. Strikes 'increasingly painful' Reports of the capure follow an intensified air assault against Yugoslavia by the Allied forces on Wednesday night. Yugoslavia's state-run Tanjug news agency reported that Allied forces had destroyed a bridge over the Danube River at Novi Sad on the eighth night of their bombing campaign. Tanjug also reported several explosions in Kosovo's capital, Pristina, but said Belgrade was quiet.
Correspondents say that it is the first reported attack against Yugoslav infrastructure.
Refugees 'face starvation' However, the growing refugee crisis has lent Nato's mission greater urgency, with reports that civilians in Kosovo could face starvation within 10 days. The head of the United Nations World Food Programme, Catherine Bertini, said her organisation had no way of reaching them, and air drops had been rejected as too dangerous. Kosovo refugees are still massing at Macedonia's border Thousands of refugees from the province are continuing to pour across its frontiers into neighbouring countries - already struggling to cope with the tide of refugees who have fled their homes since Nato launched its bombing campaign. But the Yugoslav Government was insisting that Nato air strikes had provoked the mass exodus. Its UN representative, Vladislav Jovanovic, told the Associated Press that President Milosevic had issued an invitation on Tuesday to all displaced Kosovo Albanians to return to Yugoslavia.
