Federal artillery and gunboats shelled hotels and homes around the Adriatic resort of Dubrovnik overnight, killing one civilian and wounding two, Croatian defense officials said Wednesday.
Air raid sirens also sounded in Zagreb at midday Wednesday, but no bombing was reported. It was the first alert in Croatia's capital since Thursday, when federal forces launched strong attacks on Dubrovnik and Croat strongholds in the eastern part of the secessionist republic.The Croatian town of Vukovar in eastern Croatia, which has been under siege for two months by the federal army and Serb militants, was shelled again Wednesday, the Yugoslav state news agency Tanjug said. There were no reports of casualties.
Elsewhere in Croatia, a cease-fire that went into effect Saturday appeared to be holding.
