SPORADIC SERB ATTACKS IN NORTHERN AND SOUTHWESTERN BOSNIA

TOLISA/MOSTAR, Feb 7 (Hina) - In the past 24 hours, Bosnian Serb forces have opened small arms and artillery fire at Croat Defence Council (HVO) positions and civilian targets in the Orasje area of northern Bosnia, Bosnian Croat defence officials said in a statement today. The ceasefire was breached when Serb troops in Jenjic fired several 82mm mortar rounds at HVO positions in the eastern part of the front. Serb forces frequently opened anti-aircraft fire, and around 10 pm yesterday they fired a 155mm howitzer shell at Bok. Sporadic small arms fire was opened from Serb positions throughout the night. The HVO reported no casualties but said Serb attacks caused substantial material damage. On the Livno front in southwestern Bosnia, Serb forces yesterday fired about twenty 122mm howitzer rounds at HVO positions, the Bosnian Croat Habena news agency said. HVO officials said minor Serb armed provocations were also recorded at the Mostar front. A group of high HVO officers, led by Brigadier Zeljko Siljeg, yesterday met Serb military officials at Sarajevo airport to discuss the implementation of the ceasefire agreement.
