The Attacks in Ponoševac are armed conflicts between the MUP and the Kosovo Liberation Army at the beginning of May 1998, during the War in Kosovo and Metohija. In these low-intensity clashes, KLA members were defeated and forced to retreat towards the border with the Republic of Albania. May 1998 marked a large increase in terrorist activities against VJ units, the police and the civilian population.In addition to classic guerilla and sabotage actions, the KLA increasingly attacks the civilian population and affects the normal functioning of the daily activities of civilians. The village of Ponoševac, ten kilometers from Đakovica, on the way to the Morina border crossing, was the scene of fierce clashes between the MUP of Serbia and the Kosovo Liberation Army in early May 1998. Both before and after the end of the fighting, there were large forces of the KLA stationed in this area to accommodate terrorists who crossed the border illegally every day and smuggled weapons for the KLA into Kosovo.[1]
