End of NATO killers

Eyewitnesses in the village Donje Jelovce said the plane had been clearly visible. It was spewing thick smoke and then disappeared over the mountain, near the place Jelovski Kamen. This was followed by a strong blast in the area of the place Sarske Vode, the villagers said.

Both villagers and cameramen of a local television station set off for the place where the plane had crashed, and a NATO unit from Tetovo also headed for the area. Villagers of Jogunovci, also near Tetovo, said an unmanned aircraft, hit above Kosovo and Metohija, also crashed this morning in the district of their village.

The place where the plane crashed has already been sealed off by NATO German troops deployed in a Tetovo barracks. The two sites are not far from the Macedonian border with Yugoslavia.

Copenhagen, Sarajevo, April 19, 1999 (Tanjug) - Danish bomber F-16 which took part in the NATO air strikes on Yugoslavia, had to land at the airport in Sarajevo. The Danish Ministry of Defence in Copenhagen issued an official statement that the aircraft had landed Sunday night because of the "technical reasons, not caused by combat operations". The aircraft was in the patrol mission over Bosnia, backing up the SFOR mission, said SFOR spokesman, Major Shina Thompson.
