Attack

During the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, frequent shelling of the narrow area of Zenica from the position of the Croatian Defense Council in Vitez and Busovača was carried out.

On 5 March 1994, two grenades were fired from the position of the HVO in Putićevo at the village of Velika Broda in the Zenica municipality. On that day, five Croats were killed.

Klementina Milenković (31), along with her husband Miloš (33), sister Irenka Brankalioni (35) and two neighbors, Dalibor Trogrlić (24) and Ivanka Trogrlić (42), were killed in front of the door of the parents' house. Her father Zvonimir Brankalioni and aunt Emilija Pavlinović, who tried to help them, were wounded after the second grenade fell. Edin Zlotrb also sustained shelling injuries.[1]
