Account of an event · August 28, 1995
On Monday, 28 August 1995, at about 11 a.m., five mortar shells fell near the Markale market in Sarajevo. One 120 mm shell landed in front of the main entrance to the City Market in Mula Mustafe Bašeskije Street, killing 43 people and wounding dozens. Two days later NATO launched the air operation Deliberate Force against VRS targets. Radovan Karadžić and Ratko Mladić were later convicted by final judgment and sentenced to life imprisonment, among other things for terrorising the civilian population of Sarajevo.
