SARAJEVO POUNDED WITH SHELLS OVERNIGHT

SARAJEVO, April 9 (Hina) - Nine strong detonations echoed in Sarajevo overnight, UN military observers reported on Sunday. Two shells exploded near the Zetra sports facilities, where Danish UN peace keepers are now accommodated. Most of detonations were registered in the municipality of Stari Grad, the very centre of Sarajevo. A spokeswoman for UN, Myriam Sohacko, said this morning that it was still unknown what kind of projectiles had hit the Bosnian capital, and added that an investigation into the incident was in progress. Bosnian Army's sources said that Serbs had launched 120mm mortar shells on Sarajevo and wounded a 60-year-old man. Another three explosions rocked the Sarajevo downtown last night when the city was put on general alert at 08:20 pm Saturday. Afterwards UN military observers undertook an investigation in order to find out origins of the explosions. A spokesman for UN, Pierre Chavancy, said shortly after 10:00 pm last night that one of the shells had exploded near Zetra. Another shell landed in the Stari grad municipality, according to UN reports. Sarajevo Airport is to be closed on Sunday as well. According to UN spokeswoman Sohacko, UN Protection Force will ask additional security guarantees from both sides. Only when such guarantees have been obtained, the Sarajevo airlift may resume.
