Battle for Jasenovac

The Battle for Jasenovac occurred during the Croatian War of Independence. In September 1991, Serbian forces had taken the village of Jasenovac but on 8 October, the HVO tried an unsuccesful counter-offensive. During the Croatian Army's retreat, they shelled a bridge, causing some damage to the Serbs but Jasenovac remained in their hands. During the village's occupation, Croatian civilians were forced to flee, with many also getting killed.
