The Markale market shelling was one of the deadliest attacks carried out by Bosnian Serb forces during the siege of Sarajevo, which lasted from April 1992 to December 1995.

On August 28, 1995, a 120-millimeter mortar shell fired from Bosnian Serb positions landed in front of Sarajevo's City Market, resulting in 43 deaths and 84 serious injuries.

During a ceremony in the Bosnian capital, family members of the victims, survivors, and politicians gathered to pay tribute, lay wreaths, and pray for the deceased. The event began with the reading of the names of those who lost their lives in the attack.

Survivors and relatives of the victims continue to seek justice for their loved ones.

The prolonged siege of Sarajevo also caused extensive damage to the city's historical and cultural artifacts, as well as its infrastructure. Sarajevo endured daily bombings and mortar attacks by Bosnian Serb forces for 1,425 days, indiscriminately targeting shoppers, people in queues for bread, children playing, and other civilians.

The first attack on the Markale marketplace occurred on February 5, 1994, resulting in 68 deaths and 150 injuries.
