BRUSSELS, Belgium (CNN) -- NATO aircraft "mistakenly" bombed a civilian convoy in Kosovo, NATO said Thursday, confirming Serb reports.

"NATO confirms from its preliminary investigation that it appears one of its aircraft mistakenly dropped a bomb on a civilian convoy yesterday," the alliance said in a written statement.

NATO said it could not confirm any casualties. Serb reports indicate at least 64 Kosovo refugees died in the attack.

NATO said there may have been Serb police or military vehicles in and around the civilian convoy.
