According to a HAM radio operator, it is impossible to estimate the number of building ablaze. Serb gunners were reported to be firing on residents seeking cover in the surrounding woods. Hand to hand combat was reported along the entire defense lines and Serbs continued to bring reinforcements. Five people were killed and 25 wounded when the city came under mortar, howitzer and tank fire after 10 a.m. this morning. Civilian targets in the Stari Grad center were particularly targeted as shells struck the most crowded streets.
Material damage is considerable.
The attack started just as the Bosnian Serb parliament began its session in Pale and ceased in the afternoon. Bosnian President, Alija Izetbegovic, said Bosnian Serbs must demonstrate their goodwill through concrete action before negotia- tions can resume to resolve the 13 month war which has torn the country apart.
