On 13 November 1991, the hamlet of Kijev Do near Ravno, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the border with Croatia was attacked by units of the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA) and affiliated Serb forces. Eight elderly Croat civilians seven women and one man were killed in a targeted operation.[1][2][full citation needed][3]
Details of the attack
The attack on Kijev Do occurred over the course of roughly one hour, between 7 and 8 a.m. Eight elderly civilians were killed seven women and one man. Most victims were at home or in a neighboring house at the time. Families were reportedly targeted because they had male members who were, or could have been, involved in Croatian armed units.[1]
Victims were found in positions suggesting they tried to flee. Mara Dubelj was killed while tending to pigs, and Mara Krkić’s body was discovered seven months later in a well, with injuries indicating she had been dragged and possibly hanged. Following the attack, only four Croat residents survived, primarily because they had no male descendants. Homes were burned or abandoned, and the surviving population fled or was forcibly displaced.[1]
The victims included: Božica Krkić (b. 1916), Bosa Krkić (b. 1907), Ivana Krkić (b. 1927), Manda Krkić (b. 1932), Miho Krkić (b. 1933), Mara Krkić (b. 1924), Mara Hapan (b. 1925), Mara Dubelj (b. 1906).[1]
