Yugoslav police launched a new operation Wednesday against Kosovo rebels after President Slobodan Milosevic told two top NATO generals he will purue afforts to crush the ethnic Albanian rebellion regardless of threats of airstrikes.

In the latest operation, Serb police moved Wednesday into an area near Kosovska Mitrovica, about 40 kilometres (24 miles) northwest of Pristina.

The Serb Media Centre said police had surrounded a house in the village of Vaganica where about a dozen rebels were believed to be hiding.

Police demanded they surrender but the rebels responded with bursts of automatic rifle fire.

South of the area, on the K-L-A held side of the fighting, rebel soldiers continued their manoeuvres as civilians continued to flee the area.
