Milenko Malobabic (16), Rada Malobabic (19), Milena Malobabic (20), Djordje Pavkovic (45), Rada Zigic (52), Bosiljka Malobabic (53), Slavko Popovic (60), Petar Budisavljevic (60), Bogdanka Janjanin (60), Stamen Rangelov (61), Milanka Vuckovic (65), Stana Rasic (66), Desanka Velickovic (67), Bosa Miladinovic (68), Danica Malesevic (68), Nepijal Dragic (70), Dragic Napijalo (70), Dusan Manojlovic (72), Bogdanka Janjanin (74), and Mile Slijepcevic (90) are killed.108 On June 7, Boris Eremijev (60) from Klisura dies in ahospital in Bosilegrad.109 The bodies of two more victims, names and ages unknown, were reportedly recovered on August 11.
The Special Hospital for Lung Diseases "Sanatorium" in southeastern Surdulica is hit. The complex includes an home for the aged and a refugee center. Directly hit were three widely separated buildings.110 Tanjug reports "at least 17 children and helpless old people lost their lives."111 In all, the Yugoslav government states, twenty civilians are killed and eighty-eight wounded.112
NATO reports the bombing of the Surdulica ammunition storage site on May 30.113 NATO spokesman Col. Konrad Freitag says that aircraft struck an ammunition storage depot and military barracks. "NATO cannot confirm any Serb claims of casualties or collateral damage," he said. On June 1, NATO spokesman Jamie Shea further addresses the Surdulica incident:
when we looked at this incident we clearly saw that the 4 missiles, precision guided missiles, which were fired at the facilities in Surdulica, all hit the target, the military target, the legitimate military target, accurately. There were no errant weapons in this situation.114
In July, while testifying before Congress, Deputy Secretary of Defense John Hamre and CIA Director George Tenet address the Surdulica incident. Hamre says: "We did have an instance where we hit a hospital. It was totally an accident. In this case, that was human error that led in this instance where we hit a hospital." Tenet says: "We hit a hospital. We didn't want to do that. That was the case of the pilot got confused and he was off by about a mile and what he thought was his coordinates."115
Human Rights Watch visited the site (N4240929/E02209910) on August 12, inspected the damage and interviewed eyewitnesses. Guards at the sanatorium said that they observed NATO aircraft flying at a low altitude, and that there was no air defenses active in the area. On August 11, one day before the Human Rights Watch team visited the site, the guards stated that two more corpses were found on the roof of a sanatorium building. Human Rights Watch also inspected a large crater in a field some 400 meters from the sanatorium facility. The Yugoslav government provides forensic detail of the incident in its White Book.
