Goražde Incident
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
The Goražde incident was the response of the Serbian Army to NATO attacks on their military command outpost near Goražde.
Events[edit]
On 12 March 1995, the United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) made its first request for NATO air support, but close air support was not deployed, owing to a number of delays associated with the approval process. On 10 and 11 April 1995, UNPROFOR called in air strikes to protect the Goražde safe area, resulting in the bombing of a Bosnian Serb military command outpost near Goražde by two US F-16 jets.[1][2] This was the first time in NATO's history it had attacked ground targets with aircraft.[3] Subsequently, Bosnian Serbs entered into the Gorazde safe zone to the UN peace keepers. Serbian Army soldiers took 150 UN personnel hostage on 14 April 1995.[4] A British Sea Harrier was sent to scout the situation and potentially attack Serbian positions, but Serbs were prepared. On 16 April 1995, a British Sea Harrier was shot down over Goražde by Bosnian Serb forces.[5][6]
