The Siege of Sarajevo was the longest siege of a capital city in
the history of modern warfare. It was arguably one of the worst
episodes of the 1992-95 Bosnian Genocide. Serb forces besieged
Sarajevo from 5 April 1992 to 29 February 1996, killing 10,000

a year longer than the Siege of Leningrad. What you are about to

Sarajevo during the Serbian shelling of the Bosnian capital on
June 08, 1992, in the first months of the Bosnian Genocide.
