SEVEN WOUNDED IN BIHAC, WESTERN BOSNIA

SARAJEVO, April 7 (Hina) - Seven people, four of them children, were wounded in yesterday's Serb artillery attack on Bihac, the UN in Sarajevo said today. Military observers reported that Serbs fired twelve 130-mm shells on downtown Bihac, damaging five residential buildings. UN observers registered 28 detonations in the Bihac 'protected area'. UN spokesman in Sarajevo said that these were connected with Bosnian army and Croatian Defence Council (HVO) operations southwest of Bihac. UNPROFOR sources said that some 400 Bosnian army and HVO soldiers were carrying out operations to gain control over a road west of the UN protected area. The operation had been successful and Serbs retaliated by shelling civilian facilities, said the UN spokesman in Sarajevo. Troops loyal to Muslim renegade Fikret Abdic and Serb units were attacking Bosnian army positions near the village of Vrnograc east of Velika Kladusa where 323 detonations were registered. The confrontation line remained unchanged. (hina) jn rm as 071624 MET apr 95
