Kosovo rioters burn Serb churches
Religious symbols are bearing the brunt of the violence
Mobs of angry Albanians in Kosovo have burned Serbian Orthodox churches and homes on a second day of violence which is showing no sign of a let-up.
The attacks came as Nato announced it was sending another 1,000 troops to reinforce the 18,500 already there.
At least 31 people have died in the worst violence since the 1999 Kosovo war and about 500 have been injured.
The UN Security Council meeting in a special session is expected to condemn the violence and urge calm.
Trouble erupted in the divided city of Mitrovica after the deaths of two Albanian children, blamed on members of the province's small ethnic Serbian community.
As attacks multiplied, angry demonstrators over the border in Serbia itself responded by burning several mosques.
International staff have been relocated from Mitrovica as a result of the violence, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan told the Security Council meeting.

A Serb Orthodox church in the heart of Pristina was the target of the latest attack on Thursday evening.
Earlier, Albanians managed to get past Nato peacekeepers to set fire to churches in Mitrovica and the town of Obilic, west Pristina, where about 100 local Serbs had to be evacuated.
Crowds of Albanians were also reported to be trying to storm a church being protected by Finnish peacekeepers in the central town of Lipljan.
Nato troops had to use teargas against Albanian protesters seeking to march on the village of Caglavica, south of Pristina, for the second day on Thursday.
Flights in and out of Kosovo have been suspended and internal boundaries with Serbia have been closed.
Nato officials insist that the alliance and the United Nations, which administers the province, are committed to quelling tensions.
But the top commander of the Nato-led force in Kosovo, known as K-For, has authorised the troops to use force if necessary.
The European Union has called on local leaders to rein in the violence - and the main Kosovo Albanian political parties have issued a statement urging their supporters to call off the protests.
Mr Annan urged co-operation with the international presence in Kosovo, but his message was aimed primarily at the Kosovo Albanian leaders, who - as the largest ethnic group - had a responsibility "to protect and promote the rights of all people within Kosovo, particularly its minorities".
Serbia has condemned both Nato and the UN for failing to protect the Serb minority in the province.
Prime Minister Vojislav Kostunica has described the attacks as "planned in advance and co-ordinated... this was an attempted pogrom and ethnic cleansing" against Kosovo's Serbs.
He has called for a state of emergency to be imposed in Kosovo.
Protesters in Serbia have taken to the streets again to demonstrate their support for the Kosovo Serbs - after having stoned and burned mosques and other Islamic buildings on Wednesday.

Reinforcements for Nato peacekeepers have started arriving in Kosovo where clashes between ethnic Albanians and Serbs left more than 30 people dead.
An advance party of 150 UK forces flew in overnight. Hundreds more German and French troops are also being sent.
The situation in the flashpoint town of Mitrovica was described as very tense on Friday, with more attacks reported on Serb areas overnight.
The UN pulled its staff out of the divided town late on Thursday.
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said the decision had been taken in view of the worsening security situation since trouble erupted on Tuesday.
Mr Annan said it showed that, despite the progress, communities in Kosovo were not ready to accept multi-ethnicity.
He was addressing a special session of the UN Security Council after the worst violence since the 1999 Kosovo war.
Mobs of angry Albanians set alight Serbian Orthodox churches and Serb-owned homes across Kosovo on Thursday.
The Serbian government has called a demonstration in Belgrade to protest against the attacks, and observers say a big turnout is expected.
'Sniper attacks'
The BBC's Nick Thorpe in the predominantly Serb north of Mitrovica says the bridge across the river Iber is blocked by armoured cars of the Nato-led forces.
French soldiers with guns and riot police are patrolling the streets.
During the night, there were reports of shooting which Serbs blamed on Albanian snipers.
French forces searched ethnic Albanian blocks of flats near the river early on Friday in an attempt to track down the gunmen.
The first extra contingent of 750 soldiers being sent by the UK arrived in the region's capital Pristina overnight.
Germany's Defence Minister Peter Struck said on Friday that a further 600 peacekeepers were being sent to join German forces in Kosovo, with deployment starting on Saturday.
France also says it is sending in hundreds more troops from Friday.
At least 17,000 peacekeepers are already based in Kosovo.
Attacks multiply
Trouble first erupted in the divided city of Mitrovica after the deaths by drowning of two Albanian children were blamed on members of Kosovo's small Serbian minority.
