Illumination
Rounds Light up the Eastern Boundary
For several hours
last night, KFOR US troops shot artillery illumination rounds
high into the night sky in the boundary area near Gnjilane. The
powerful light gives KFOR patrols a clear view of any illegal
activity which may be taking place on or near the line between
Serbia and Kosovo.
Illumination
rounds are released over a designated target area. People living
in the vicinity will hear the bang as the guns fire and will also
hear noise, similar to fireworks, as each round illuminates.
The action, which
began at about 6 p.m. last night, is an important element in KFOR's
security operations and demonstrates KFOR's resolve to control
smuggling and crime, and to maintain a peaceful environment.
