SERB FORCES CONTINUE SHELLING ORASJE AREA

ORASJE, May 24 (Hina) - Fighting in the Orasje-Samac theatre, northern Bosnia, had been increasing, the local Croatian Defence Council (HVO) command said today. Around 13.00 hours several tank rounds landed at the villages of Vidovice and Kopanice, while the village of Vucilovac, on the eastern part of the front, was fired at from a heavy machine-gun. Serb forces at the same time attacked the villages of Matici and Bok with anti-aircraft cannons, and with a mortar. HVO reconnaissance units have reported on new Serb regrouping, thus predicting the coming Serb infantry attacks. (Hina) bk 241716 MET may 95
