[0:08] NATO steps up its bombing. The US is
[0:10] sending many more warplanes amid new
[0:13] fears that the Balkan War may be
[0:15] spreading.
[0:20] This is the CBS Evening News
[0:23] with Dan Rather reporting tonight from
[0:26] Yugoslavia.
[0:29] Good evening from Belgrade. Three full
[0:31] weeks into the Allied air war against
[0:33] Yugoslavia, and the momentum is still
[0:35] building. NATO planes are pounding
[0:38] especially hard now at Serbian fuel and
[0:40] transportation centers around Belgrade
[0:43] and throughout the country in an effort
[0:45] to, as NATO puts its grind down the
[0:47] Mallich war machine. And as NATO
[0:50] continues to work to cut off Serbian
[0:52] forces in the southern province of
[0:53] Kosovo, there are reports from there
[0:56] today of the war possibly spilling over
[0:58] a border. According to the Albanian
[1:02] government, Serb forces crossed over
[1:04] into Albania early today and exchanged
[1:06] heavy gunfire with Albanian forces. Late
[1:10] in the day, the Serb forces withdrew,
[1:12] but US Secretary of State Matlin
[1:14] Albbright in Oslo emphasized the US will
[1:17] not allow the conflict to spread into
[1:19] Albania. NATO continued its serious
[1:22] business, pounding Serbia through the
[1:25] night and into the early morning hours.
[1:27] Major oil refineries were hit once
[1:29] again. So were factories and army
[1:30] barracks. And although Serb TV showed
[1:33] these pictures of anti-aircraft fire,
[1:35] NATO reported that all of its planes had
[1:37] returned safely.
[1:39] There is no letup in NATO's air
[1:41] campaign. No letup in the Serb's
[1:43] defiance. And no letup either in these
[1:46] images of a country under attack
