38668of 122 millim<strong>et</strong>res at S-15, at “left where is /illegible/ S-54”, and at “right from thebridge S-16”; and a tot<strong>al</strong> of 79 rock<strong>et</strong>s of 122 millim<strong>et</strong>res from BM-21 MBRLs at theSVK headquarters and the Slavko Rodić or Northern barracks. The Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamberunderstands these S-numbers to refer to the coded map Ivančića (P2338). On the sameday, the 4th Guards Brigade reported firing 89 rock<strong>et</strong>s of 122 millim<strong>et</strong>res from BM-21MBRLs at the Slavko Rodić barracks. From these findings, the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamberconcludes that the 4th and 7th Guards Brigades reported firing at least 280 rock<strong>et</strong>s atKnin on 4 August 1995.1264. The Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber finds that on 5 August 1995, b<strong>et</strong>ween 5:30 and 7:30 a.m., theTS-4 reported firing at least 48 shells of 130 millim<strong>et</strong>res at targ<strong>et</strong>s in Knin. Of theseshells 18 were reportedly fired at the Slavko Rodić or Northern barracks; twelve at thecross-roads; twelve at the Senjak barracks, and six at “Knin” (without further specifyinga targ<strong>et</strong>). The TS-4 war diary P2533 further indicates that the TS-4 reported firing 12shells at Knin “Tromost” at 7:30 a.m. However, the TS-4 daily report P1269 does notrecord firing shells at this time. No other evidence supports the existence of a targ<strong>et</strong>referred to as Knin “Tromost”. Consequently, the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber is unable to establishthe accuracy of the entry relating to 7:30 a.m. on P2533. The Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber furtherfinds that on the same day, the TS-3 reported firing 30 shells of 130 millim<strong>et</strong>res attarg<strong>et</strong>s in Knin: 15 at the SVK headquarters and 15 at the Post Office. From thesefindings, the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber concludes that the TS-3 and TS-4 reported firing at least 78shells at Knin on 5 August 1995.1265. On the same day the 7th Guards Brigade reported firing a tot<strong>al</strong> of 102 rock<strong>et</strong>s of122 millim<strong>et</strong>res from BM-21 MBRLs at targ<strong>et</strong>s in Knin: 40 of which were reportedlyfired b<strong>et</strong>ween 4 and 5 a.m. at S-54 on the coded map Ivančića (P2338), and 40 at theSlavko Rodić or Northern barracks. The reports of the 7th Guards Brigade do notfurther specify what the remaining 22 rock<strong>et</strong>s of 122 millim<strong>et</strong>res were fired at. An entryin the Sekovanić diary (P2455) suggests that on 5 August 1995, at 00:40 the 7th GuardsBrigade reported firing 40 rock<strong>et</strong>s of 122 millim<strong>et</strong>res from BM-21 MBRLs at Knin(without further specifying a targ<strong>et</strong>). This firing at 00:40 is not reflected in any othercontemporaneous HV documents and was not confirmed by Rajčić. Consequently, theTri<strong>al</strong> Chamber is unable to establish the accuracy of this entry relating to 00:40 a.m. inthe Sekovanić diary. Based on Sekovanić’s diary and Rajčić’s testimony, the Tri<strong>al</strong>4620 P2343 (Operative logbook of the 4th Guards Brigade, July and August 1995), p. 36.647Case No.: IT-06-90-T 15 April 2011 `
