Nato planes 'kill 15 at hospital and market' Saturday May 8 1999 REUTERS in Nis, Serbia Three blood-stained bodies lay amid debris in a narrow street in this southern Serbian city yesterday after authorities said Nato air strikes had hit a hospital and a marketplace, killing 15 people and injuring 70. Zoran Zivkovic, the town's mayor, said that at least 15 people were killed in the first daytime assault on Nis, the third biggest Serbian town, already targeted 13 times since the start of the Nato bombing campaign on March 24. "It is obvious who killed these people: Nato alliance," Mr Zivkovic told reporters near the city market, an area where cluster bombs had apparently produced casualties. In Brussels, Nato's military spokesman, Major-General Walter Jertz, said the alliance was investigating reports that a civilian area had been hit. One of the victims was an old woman killed by flying shrapnel while carrying home carrots from the market. Some 10 metres from her, on the street just off the city's main outdoor market, a young man lay dead in a pool of blood. "It is a catastrophe," said Smilja Djuric, 73, standing beside his body. "I survived two wars but I never experienced anything like this". She said she had been inside when the bombs struck just after 11am local time, "otherwise I would have been killed as well". Across the road an old man with a jagged wound in his forehead was lying next to cardboard boxes from which he had been selling eggs and onions. A little further down the street was a restaurant called Tri Fenjera (The Three Lampposts) where a local resident said a waitress had been killed while standing in the kitchen. Police said there were about 20 unexploded cluster bombs in the area. Jovan Zlatic, a local district chief in the suburb of Medosevac, which was also reported hit in an earlier raid, said at least 11 people had been killed. At least 30 houses in Medosevac were completely destroyed or heavily damaged he said. Radmila Mitrovic, 59, who was sitting weeping in front of her ruined house, said: "Whoever did this to us, may God make them pay for it." scmp.com
