Yugoslav September Offensive
|
|
The Yugoslav September Offensive marked an escalation in the Kosovo War as Yugoslav forces launched aggressive operations against the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) in September 1998. This offensive came amid growing tensions between Yugoslav government forces and the KLA, which had been steadily gaining strength. The offensive was aimed at weakening the KLA's positions and regain control over the territories of Kosovo. During the offensive, Yugoslav forces targeted areas heavily populated by ethnic Albanians, resulting in large-scale displacement of civilians. International Reaction The international community, including the United Nations, attempted to mediate, calling for a ceasefire through UN Security Council Resolution 1199 in late September. Both the Yugoslav government and KLA failed to uphold the ceasefire, and the violence persisted, setting the stage for further international intervention in 1999. This phase of the conflict reflected the intensity of Yugoslavia's efforts to suppress the KLA, as well as the increasing global attention to the region's humanitarian disaster. See Also
