On October 1, 1991, shortly before 6:00 a.m., the JNA (Yugoslav People's Army), reservists, and members of Serbo-Montenegrin paramilitary formations attacked the south of Croatia and Dubrovnik from land, sea, and air.
The siege of Dubrovnik was a military conflict fought between the Serbian controlled Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) and Croatian forces defending the city of Dubrovnik and its surroundings during the Croatian War of Independence.
