Norwegian soldiers serving with the UN Protection Force at the
airport in the north Bosnian town of Tuzla, on Tuesday (10/10)
were assessing the damage to their base caused by Serb shelling.
According to Deputy Force Commander Hans Karssing, the base
received two direct hits just after lunch on Monday. One shell
landed next to the canteen and another close to his office. The
fragments of one shell hit a UN vehicle killing one UN soldier.
The soldier sitting next to him was uninjured.
