The Goražde incident was the response of the Serbian Army to NATO attacks on their military command outpost near Goražde.

Events

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]
