The Destruction of Varvarin
The destruction of Varvarin (Ex-Yugoslavia) Nato issued a statement on Sunday, confirming four planes had attacked the bridge over the Velika Morava river at Varvarin. All "precision-guided ordnance" had hit the target, it said. The alliance described the bridge as a "designated and legitimate target". Nato spokesman Jamie Shea said: "Nato does not attack civilian targets, we attack exclusively military targets and take every precaution to avoid inflicting harm on civilians." Nato is understood to have struck at 1pm local time (1100GMT) on Sunday. Tanjug said the area would have been crowded with people attending the town market. Witnesses said four cars fell into the River Velika Morava during the first waves of attacks and rescuers who went to help victims were hit in a second wave of bombings. They said the area was littered with pools of blood and human body parts. |
