History

Historical Context

In March 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia struck bridges, oil refineries and telecom sites to weaken Yugoslav forces in Kosovo. The campaign caused civilian casualties—Human Rights Watch recorded 14 deaths in Niš—and provoked a UN Security Council vote where only three members supported a cease-fire resolution. The precedent of targeting missile-related infrastructure informs today’s Ukrainian strike on Russia’s Titan-Barrikady plant.
