The 2015 Kumanovo clashes, also known as Operation Divo naselje (Macedonian: Операција „Диво насеље“),[14] were series of shootouts which erupted during a raid between the Macedonian police and an armed group identifying itself as the National Liberation Army (NLA). They began on 9 May 2015 in the northern Macedonian town of Kumanovo.[15][16] During the shootings, eight Macedonian policemen and 14 of the militants were killed, while 37 officers were wounded and hospitalized.[17] The shooting ended on 10 May 2015, in an operation by the Macedonian police and armed forces, in which 30 militants were arrested and charged with terrorism-related charges by the Macedonian authorities.[18]
