NATO AIRCRAFT CONDUCT AIR STRIKES AT REQUEST OF UNPROFOR


NATO aircraft attacked a target within the Sarajevo Exclusion Zone
this afternoon at the request of the United Nations Protection Force.
The strikes were ordered following agreement between NATO and
UNPROFOR, after weapons were seized by Bosnian Serbs from a
weapons collection site near Sarajevo early this morning. NATO and
UN military officials are assessing the results of the air strikes.
Under the exclusion zone established by the North Atlantic Council,
uncontrolled heavy weapons remaining in a 20 kilometer zone around
Sarajevo after 21 February are subject to NATO air strikes.
