Main article: Civilian casualties during Operation Allied Force

The Bombing of Albanian refugees near Koriša occurred on 14 May 1999 during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, when NATO aircraft bombed a convoy of Kosovo Albanian refugees, killing at least 87 and wounding 60. The surviving Kosovo Albanians claimed that they had been set up by Yugoslav authorities so that they would be killed by NATO bombs, while NATO spokesman Jamie Shea and US Secretary of Defence William Cohen suggested that the refugees had been used as human shields to conceal a Yugoslav military position.

After the incident, national troops took TV crews to the scene and later Serbian television showed scenes of devastation, bodies burned beyond recognition and charred tractors scattered at the scene of the attack. The Yugoslav government insisted that NATO had targeted civilians. The incident occurred near Koriša, a town near the southern city of Prizren.
