The Bombing of Albanian refugees near Đakovica occurred on April 14, 1999 during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, when NATO planes repeatedly bombed ethnic-Albanian refugee movements over a twelve-mile stretch of road between Đakovica and Dečani in western Kosovo, killing 73 civilians. Human Rights Watch found no basis to support the claims by NATO that the convoys themselves were composed of military vehicles.[1] The attack began at 1:30 p.m. and persisted for about two hours, causing civilian deaths in numerous locations on the convoy route near the villages of Bistrazin, Gradis, Madanaj, and Meja.
