38584P722, p. 10 and H on P681) and in the empty field in front of the compound (marked 6on P430, J on P746 and marked in green on P928). Dijkstra testified that a shell hit thisempty field every 15-20 minutes for an unspecified period of time after 8 a.m. on 4August 1995, while Berikoff testified that a few rounds struck this field. Based on thisevidence, the Trial Chamber finds that at least three artillery projectiles landed in thisfield at different times on the morning of 4 August 1995. The Trial Chamber notes thatthe north-western edge of this field is approximately 200 metres south of the St AnteMonastery.1393. Based on the evidence of Dawes, Berikoff, Bellerose, Witness 136 and UNMOreport D5, the Trial Chamber finds that between two and four SVK soldiers placed antivehiclemines outside the UN compound in the morning of 4 August 1995, which theUN removed shortly thereafter. Based on the evidence of Williams and Dawes, the TrialChamber finds that around 6 a.m. on 5 August 1995, eight SVK tanks, one APC, and atruck passed the UN compound and headed north through Knin. According to two newsarticles of 5 August 1995, Leslie said that Serb tanks were returning fire right outsidethe UN compound. However, in Court, Leslie did not recall whether there were suchSerb tanks outside the UN compound that today, nor whether he was correctly quoted inthe articles. The Trial Chamber has received no other evidence indicating that any SVKtanks were present near the UN compound on 5 August 1995, other than those whichmoved through the town early that morning. Consequently, on the basis of the two newsarticles alone, the Trial Chamber is unable to conclusively establish that any Serb tanksoutside the UN compound returned fire on 5 August 1995.1394. According to D89, a Sector South situation report, on 5 August 1995 at 6:15p.m., the SVK fired twelve rounds of artillery from Strmica towards Knin. The TrialChamber considers that the report indicates only that the rounds were fired in thegeneral direction of Knin. The witnesses present in Knin consistently testified that theshelling of Knin ended prior to or around noon on 5 August 1995. The Trial Chamberhas received no evidence of shells impacting within the town of Knin that evening.Consequently, the Trial Chamber cannot establish based only on D89 whether theseprojectiles were fired at Knin rather than just in the direction of Knin, nor where theseprojectiles impacted.1395. The Trial Chamber has received evidence from several witnesses with regard to aspecific incident in which an artillery projectile killed a group of people near the UN731Case No.: IT-06-90-T 15 April 2011 `
