38539at TS-5’s dispos<strong>al</strong> were used against Obrovac. The evidence does not establish thenumber of artillery projectiles fired on Obrovac.1474. P1125, D970, P1201, and P1263 do not specify which targ<strong>et</strong>s TS-5 should havefired at in Obrovac. Rajčić testified that the bridge and cross-roads, marked on P2328 as1 and 2 respectively, were artillery targ<strong>et</strong>s in Obrovac. The bridge in Obrovac is listedas a potenti<strong>al</strong> artillery targ<strong>et</strong> <strong>al</strong>so in P1273, a map named Poskok-93, signed by<strong>Gotovina</strong> and Brigadier Milan Mihić. Aside from the bridge, the map <strong>al</strong>so lists a gasstation and the <strong>al</strong>umina factory as potenti<strong>al</strong> targ<strong>et</strong>s. The bridge, the <strong>al</strong>umina factory, andcross-roads are <strong>al</strong>so included in D1447, the Jagoda list. However, with regard to P1273,the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber has received insufficient evidence indicating for which purpose itwas used during Operation Storm; and with regard to D1447, it has received insufficientevidence indicating who produced it and wh<strong>et</strong>her, or for what purpose, it was usedduring Operation Storm. On this basis, the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber finds that the HV hadidentified at least the bridge and the cross-roads in Obrovac as potenti<strong>al</strong> artillery targ<strong>et</strong>s.1475. With regard to military presence in Obrovac, Dopuñ testified that none of thebuildings hit in town were used by the military at the time, and that there were no SVKtroops or APCs in Obrovac on 4 August 1995. According to Dopuñ and Mrkšić, thecommand of the SVK 4th light Infantry Brigade was located in the Velebit area, andaccording to Novaković the nearest SVK combat units were at least 10 km away fromObrovac. According to Dopuñ, the only military facilities in the vicinity of Obrovacwere another branch of the Trio Factory and a military depot in an old school, bothsituated in Zegar. Aside from the bridge and cross-roads indicated by Rajčić, the Tri<strong>al</strong>Chamber has considered that Witness 56 listed the police station and two other facilitiesin Obrovac town. These were a hotel across the Zrmanja river, where according toWitness 56 a platoon of the speci<strong>al</strong> police was headquartered, and a factory c<strong>al</strong>ledGlinica, which the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber finds was outside of Obrovac town. However,according to Dopuñ, in August 1995 the RSK speci<strong>al</strong> police was never in the hotel inObrovac, and the Glinica factory had not been in use for sever<strong>al</strong> years. On this basis, theTri<strong>al</strong> Chamber finds that RSK speci<strong>al</strong> police was headquartered in the hotel in Obrovacprior to August 1995, but that there were no SVK units in Obrovac on 4 August 1995.With regard to civilian presence in Obrovac on 4 August 1995, on the basis of Dopuñand Novaković’s testimonies the Tri<strong>al</strong> Chamber finds that when the shelling of Obrovacbegan civilians were still in town, and that they started leaving after the shelling started.776Case No.: IT-06-90-T 15 April 2011 `
