About the battle
The 1992 Yugoslav People's Army column incident in Tuzla, also known as Tuzla column (Serbo-Croatian: Tuzlanska kolona, Тузланска колона) was an attack on the 92nd Motorized Brigade of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) in the Bosnian city of Tuzla on 15 May 1992. The incident occurred at the road junction of Brčanska Malta. At least 54 soldiers of the JNA were killed and 44 wounded during the attacks. What started off as a peaceful retreat by agreement with local authorities ended in an ambush, when Patriotic League, Green Berets attacked the column. It was a repeat of a similar incident that occurred in Sarajevo a week prior.
