The U.S. 3rd Infantry Division's artillery opened fire Thursday on Iraqi troops with Paladin self-propelled howitzers and multiple launch rocket systems in the first stage of the ground war.

Maj. Gen. Bufourd Blount, the division commander, had said that the artillery barrage would signal the first phase of the ground war against Iraq.

The sky around the cannons illuminated with white light as dozens of artillery shells were fired and the explosions inside Iraq could be heard.

Infantrymen who were between the howitzers and the Iraqi border cheered as the shells screamed overhead.

Soldiers in the early night darkness watched the light flashing in the sky.

Blount said Wednesday that the artillery shelling would take place all along the entire Kuwait-Iraq border.

There were no reports from other parts of the sector but witnesses along the northeastern corner of the frontier reported hearing heavy detonations.

Nuke'em till they glow!
