BELGRADE, Yugoslavia -- A second day of daylight NATO attacks brought missiles in the afternoon, more explosions at night, and then a morale boost for the Serbs: TV images of a downed F-117A stealth fighter.

The sounds of exploding missiles echoed in downtown Belgrade yesterday afternoon, and more detonations roared across the city at night, shaking windows and fueling a wave of panic.

Preliminary reports indicated that no civilians were hurt.

The primary target at night was Pancevo, a city 10 miles northeast of Belgrade with an aircraft factory and oil refinery, according to the Belgrade Center for Emergency Information.

Missile attack

A daylight missile crashed to the ground in the suburbs of Belgrade during a Yugoslav army news conference, at which officials said they were saving their air-defense missiles for a prolonged war.

"This is just the first part of the NATO attack, and [the Yugoslav army] is waiting," said Miroslav Lazanski, a military analyst in Belgrade. "Now we are defending our ground troops so we will have a strong defense later."

NATO is bombing Yugoslavia, particularly its dominant republic of Serbia, to halt a year of fighting in the southern province of Kosovo, where ethnic Albanians, who make up 90 percent of the population, want independence but would probably settle for broad autonomy.

The streets of Belgrade are increasingly deserted, and bomb shelters are rapidly filling. Food is still easy to come by, but there is no gasoline.

Anti-American protests

Anti-American protesters smashed windows at the U.S. Embassy and a once-popular McDonald's, both of which were shut down before the airstrikes began.

Many men said they were ready to fight NATO. "My 70-year-old grandfather even tried to sign up as a volunteer, so he could cut off NATO fingers," said a 30-year-old computer repairman named Dragan.

On Friday night, state television featured the film "Wag the Dog," in which a fictitious U.S. president starts a war in Albania to divert attention from a sex scandal and win an election.

According to Belgrade television, an estimated 10 people have been killed and nearly 40 injured during the airstrikes, which NATO officials said would intensify in the coming days.

Official Yugoslav news agencies accused NATO of targeting civilians, damaging an Orthodox church in Kosovo and unleashing internationally banned "cluster bombs." Western reporters, many of whom fled Belgrade Thursday, have not been allowed to visit sites where the bombs landed.

Although the Serbs are blamed for having started four wars since Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic rose to power in 1989, many people in Belgrade said they are proud of their leader.

'We will tear them apart'

"Our guys are very wise because they're not confronting the enemy but hiding and waiting for the ground troops to come," said a 48-year-old cab driver as he sped around town in an old Mercedes. "We can't beat them in the air; we know that. But when they come to the ground, we will tear them apart with our hands."

Others in Belgrade said they were fed up with war, authoritarian rule and crippling economic sanctions from the West.

"I'm sick of killing because I've been living through it for nine years," said Marija Baralic, 23. "I wasn't born for war. I'm nervous. I'm afraid what will happen if it lasts. Will we have food or water to drink?

"Now that we are being bombed, I understand what the Albanians have been living through."
