OPERATION ALLIED FORCE UPDATE


NATO air forces took advantage of continued favorable weather during the
day yesterday to concentrate air attacks against Serb forces in Kosovo,
particularly in the Prizren, Stimlje, Suva Reka and Junik areas. The
weather deteriorated during the night on Day 50, particularly in the north.
This led to cancellation of some planned attacks.

troop, artillery and mortar positions; a SA-6 transloader; a logistics
staging area; and tunnel complex.


It attacks on airfields at Batajnica and Obvra, five additional Yugoslav

Military communications sites at:
· Kosovska

All NATO aircraft returned safely. Allied Force operations are underway
on Day 51. Further details will be provided at Spokesman Jamie Shea's
