(12 May 1999) Natural Sound
The Kosovo Liberation Army (K-L-A) claims to have fought off an attack by Serbian forces in the border region near Albania.
It says a K-L-A camp was attacked by MIG fighters from Republika Srpska (Bosnia's Serb republic).
The 138th Brigade of the K-L-A claim the attack was an attempt by the Serbs to regain positions lost last month.
It says that the Serbs initially attacked using heavily artillery, infantry, tanks and APCs.
When that didn't work three MIGS from Republika Srpska joined the attack using cluster bombs and what it described as toxic bombs.
It says two of the planes were shot down, although it did not say how.
The K-L-A says it suffered four dead and seven wounded but that the Serb attack was repelled.
It also says two Serb tanks were destroyed and that Serb weapons and ammunition were captured.

"We can see that the enemy doesn't have the motivation to fight because they are not fighting for their homeland. We know that this is a war of occupation and nobody ever won a war of occupation."
