Markale market, Mula Mustafa Baseskije, Sarajevo, Bosnia HerzegovinaMore information:
The Markale market was shelled twice during the war with devastating consequences. The first happened on February 5, 1994; when 68 people were killed and 144 more were wounded. The second occurred on August 28, 1995 when five mortar shells killed 43 people and wounded another 75. This latter attack was the stated reason for NATO air strikes against Bosnian Serb forces that would eventually lead to the Dayton Peace Accords and the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
