(30 Apr 1999) Natural Sound

The damage from NATO airstrikes was clearly visible around Pristina on Friday.

Included in Thursday's list of targets were an oil depot in Devet Jugovica and a metals factory near the town of Glogovac.

NATO warplanes also pounded targets across Serbia and Montenegro, even as Russia pitched a new peace plan to end the conflict.

NATO jets pounded locations across Serbia and Kosovo.

One target was the Yugoslav oil depot at Devet Jugovica, 3 kilometres outside Pristina.

Billowing flames lit up the night sky after the depot was hit by a NATO airstrike.

Another target was the Kombinat Feronikl factory at Glogovac, located 30 kilometres (20 miles) west of Pristina.

Black smoke continued to billow from the factory on Friday and widespread damage was clearly visible.

The Kombinat Feronikl site was allegedly hit, during two attacks, by 11 missiles; the first attack was at 1200 G-M-T on Thursday and another one hour later.

The Serb-run Media Centre reported that the factory produces iron and nickel compounds.

NATO insists all its targets are military or military related.
