The Krusha massacres (, ) were two massacres that took place during the Kosovo War on the afternoon of 25 March 1999, the day after the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia began, near Rahovec, Kosovo.
At that time, witnesses reported that on 25 March special police unit entered the village of Krushë e Madhe and separated the men and boys, and killed around 100 men and male teenagers over the age of 13. Human Right Watch reported that more than 98 men were killed. Then, the women and children were forced out. A similar approach was followed simultaneously in the neighboring Krushë e Vogël village, leading to a total of 243 men being killed or missing. Most of the victims' bodies were then relocated and buried in mass graves away from the crime scene.In 2020, Darko Tasić, a local Serb from the same village and member of the police reserve forces was convicted as one of the perpetrators of the massacre. It is one of the first cases in which the trial of one of the perpetrators has concluded.
One of witnesses of the murder was British journalist John Sweeney, who was in the place of the murder in that time, saw disposal of dead bodies in the Drini river, and later was an important witness of the trials of Krusha massacres.

Village residents took refuge in a forested area outside Velika Kruša/Krushe e Madhe, where they were able to observe the police systematically looting and then burning the villagers' houses.
On or about the morning of 26 March 1999, Serb police located the villagers in the forest.
The police ordered the women and small children to leave the area and to go to Albania. The police then searched the men and boys and took their identity documents, after which they were made to walk to an uninhabited house between the forest and Mala Kruša/Krushe e Vogel.
Once the men and boys were assembled inside the house, the police opened fire on the group.
After several minutes of gunfire, the police piled hay on the men and boys and set fire to it in order to burn the bodies. As a result of the shootings and the fire, approximately 105 Kosovo Albanian men and boys were killed by the Serb police.
