The New York Times – Complete Coverage of NATO Airstrikes in Yugoslavia – April 1999

Operation Allied Force war eine zwischen dem 24. März 1999 bis 10. Juni 1999 stattfindende luftgestützte Militäroperation der NATO gegen die damalige Bundesrepublik Jugoslawien, heute Serbien sowie Montenegro. Die Angriffe begannen als Reaktion auf das Scheitern der Verhandlungen von Rambouillet zur Beendigung des Kosovo-Konflikts. Sie führten zum Rückzug der jugoslawischen Truppen aus dem Kosovo und zur Einrichtung einer Übergangsverwaltung durch die Vereinten Nationen unter dem Schutz der KFOR.
