Amidst the Croatian War of Independence, the conflict intensified with the Army of the Republic of Serb Krajina employing devastating tactics against civilian populations. On May 2, 1995, they executed a cluster bomb attack on the Croatian capital, Zagreb. This shocking assault unfolded in urban areas where civilians were not only present but also vulnerable. The use of cluster munitions, known for their indiscriminate nature, caused significant casualties and property damage. Immediate reports indicated the attack resulted in the deaths of seven civilians and injured over 175 others, many of whom were bystanders. Individuals of varying ages and backgrounds experienced the horror of this military strategy.The attack sparked outrage both locally and internationally, drawing condemnation from various humanitarian organizations and governments. It exemplified the escalating violence and civilian suffering that characterized the Croatian War of Independence. The event served to illustrate the grim realities of warfare in urban environments, where the line between combatants and non-combatants was often blurred. Many survivors faced long-term physical and psychological effects, and the city itself mourned the loss of life and the destruction of its infrastructure.On a broader scale, this attack further fueled the international community's resolve to address humanitarian issues during the conflict. The use of cluster bombs raised alarms about the legality and ethics of such munitions in populated areas, leading to discussions about war crimes. The incident contributed to the eventual shifts in war policy and tactics in the Balkans, as international attention increasingly focused on the need for protecting civilians in warfare.
