Precisely at 12:10 p.m., two of 15 NATO projectiles intended that day for Surdulica and neighboring military buildings hit the very heart of the settlements of Cubrine livade (Cubra's Meadows) and Piskavica. In the local mortuary, 16 killed lay covered in sheets and blankets in two rooms. Eleven of them were children, ages five to 12. Only a few of the corpses had a head, arms and legs. Shortly before the journalists arrived, a small bundle containing bones and dismembered parts of bodies was brought to the mortuary
