Operation Storm

Operation Storm was a military offensive conducted by Croatia in August 1995 to regain territories held by Serbian forces during the Croatian War of Independence. It involved a well-coordinated attack that rapidly reclaimed key areas, leading to the short but intense conflict. The operation resulted in the displacement of thousands of Serb civilians and was a turning point in ending the war, restoring Croatian control over its territory. While it achieved strategic goals, it also had significant humanitarian consequences, including reports of wartime abuses. Overall, Operation Storm is viewed as a decisive campaign that helped conclude Croatia's struggle for independence.
