The Bombing of Albanian refugees near Koriša occurred on 14 May 1999 during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, when NATO planes bombed ethnic Albanians who had been used by Yugoslav forces as human shields. At least 87 were killed and 60 wounded. After the bombing, Serb troops took TV crews to the scene and later Serbian television showed scenes of devastation, bodies burned beyond recognition and charred tractors scattered at the scene of the attack. The Yugoslav government insisted that NATO had targeted civilians. The incident occurred near Koriša, a town near the southern city of Prizren.
