The Markale massacres were two bombardments, with at least one of them confirmed to have been carried out by the Army of Republika Srpska, targeting civilians at the Markale (marketplace) during the siege of Sarajevo in the Bosnian War. The first occurred on 5 February 1994; 68 people were killed and 144 more were wounded by a 120-millimetre (4.7 in) mortar.
