BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Sept. 5 (UPI) Ethnic Albanians continue to attack Serbian villages in Kosovo with small artillery, Serbian radio and television reports say.

Ethnic Albanians reportedly fired seven mortar grenades today in Dobratin, near Lipljan, wounding a woman.

The villagers immediately blocked the roads leading in and out of Lipljan. Reports say a rapid deployment patrol from the international KFOR peacekeeping force was sent to investigate the incident.

Radio B2-92 reports a KFOR official said the patrol found the spot from where the grenades were fired, but the attackers had already escaped.

Church sources in Kosovo said a house was damaged, and its owner and his daughter were wounded, in a mortar attack on the Serbian village of Pasjane on Wednesday.

The sources also said that on the same day, three ethnic Albanians assaulted a Serb in his home in the village of Vitina and left him seriously wounded. The Serbian Pec patriarchate also reportedly came under mortar fire Saturday morning, sustaining some damage, but there were no injuries.
