The Dobrinja mortar attack was a massacre which occurred at 10:20 a.m.[1] on 1 June 1993, in Dobrinja, a suburb west of SarajevoinBosnia and Herzegovina. Two mortar rounds were fired from Serb-held positions,[1] hitting a football pitch where youths put on an impromptu game on the first day of the Muslim holiday Kurban Bajram.[2][3] Approximately 200 people were in attendance to watch the game.[2] The United Nations placed the official death toll stemming from the mortar attack at 13[1] (news reports at the time published numbers ranging from 11[4] to 15[2] deaths), with 133 wounded.[1] At the time it was the deadliest event involving civilians since the imposition of sanctions against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia by the United Nations one year prior.[5][6]
