The Ambush near Kosovska Mitrovica (Serbian: Zaseda kod Kosovske Mitrovice) was an incident that occurred on 8 January 1999, when members of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) ambushed a Yugoslav Interior Ministry convoy carrying rations to troops stationed in a field near Kosovska Mitrovica.[2][3][4][5] Later that evening, two columns of Yugoslav troops, accompanied with at least fifty tanks, set off in the direction of Kosovska Mitrovica.[3][6] The Yugoslav troops told journalists that they were heading toward the area where the captive troops were thought to be held.[3]
