SERBS FIRE TANK SHELLS ON BIHAC

SARAJEVO, March 6 (Hina) - Severe artillery fighting and small-arms fire exchange flared today on the fronts of Bihac and Velika Kladusa, western Bosnia. A UN spokesman in Sarajevo said UN military observers had counted 288 tank and mortar detonations around Velika Kladusa last night. UN peacekeepers were still not allowed to reach the confrontation line near Mala Kladusa, and therefore they could not tell whether the first lines had been changed during the recent clashes. In the Bihac "safe area" 36 detonations were recorded in the last 24 hours. The UN spokesman said two tank rounds, fired from Serb positions Pritocki Grabez, had hit the Bihac center nearby the UN Bangladeshi headquarters at about 04:00 p.m. Sunday wounding two civilians. The investigation into the Serb attack on the Bihac downtown last Saturday showed that three or four 122 mm shells which hit the town, had been fired from Serb positions in Ripce. The Bosanska Krupa front was relatively quiet with six detonations registered. (hina) mar rv mms 061425 MET mar 95
