WASHINGTON (CNN) -- U.S. defense and White House officials confirmed to CNN that strikes against Serbian targets in Yugoslavia began Wednesday.
CNN correspondent Brent Sadler reported at least three heavy explosions in Pristina, the capital of the Serbian province of Kosovo. He could not tell where exactly the blasts took place or what caused them, or whether any damage was caused.
He also reported hearing repeated sporadic mall arms fire. Pristina was steeped in "pitch black darkness," he said.
CNN correspondent Christiane Amanpour in Belgrade reported seeing two flashes in the night skies on the distant horizon, apparently outside the capital of Yugoslavia.
