The Doboj shelling was carried out by the Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ARBiH) during its attacks on the city in 1992 and 1994 in the Bosnian War. The ARBiH fired at the city with its artillery, resulting in the deaths of many Serbian civilians. No one has yet been held accountable for the shelling of the city and the civilian casualties.
Shelling of the city
In 1994, ARBiH soldiers without HVO help but with a professional and better equipped army than before, attacked the city. The first attack was from 17 to 23 October and the second lasted from 8–10 November. ARBiH soldiers invaded the city and killed and wounded civilians, but the VRS drove ARBiH out of the city in time and prevented potentially larger casualties. In the attacks, several dozen civilians were killed and several more were wounded. In 1995, there was no significant attack on the city, but after the fall of Vozuća, there was a threat that the ARBiH and the Bosnian Mujahideen would reach Doboj. The VRS however, managed to slow down their offensive and the threat was averted.[1]
