Six people were killed, 39 were seriously wounded and 136 suffered
light wounds in the shelling, which was repeated the following
day.
The Serbs retaliated for their defeat in Operation "Flash", which
their leader at the time, Milan Martic, admitted in front of TV
cameras. Martic has been indicted for this war crime by the
International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY)
in The Hague.
