The Karpalak ambush (Macedonian: Заседа кај Карпалак, Albanian: Pritë në Karpalak), referred to by Macedonians as the Karpalak massacre (Macedonian: Масакр кај Карпалак), was an attack carried out by the National Liberation Army (NLA) against a convoy of the Army of the Republic of Macedonia (ARM) near the village of Grupčin on 8 August 2001 amidst an ethnic Albanian insurgency in the country, in the final stages of the Yugoslav Wars. It was speculated that the ambush was carried out in retaliation for a Macedonian Police raid in Skopje the day before in which five NLA insurgents were killed. Ten members of the ARM's Military Reserve Force, including two officers, were killed at Karpalak and two others were wounded. The ambush was the single deadliest incident of the conflict up until that

  • The Karpalak ambush (Macedonian: Заседа кај Карпалак, Albanian: Pritë në Karpalak), referred to by Macedonians as the Karpalak massacre (Macedonian: Масакр кај Карпалак), was an attack carried out by the National Liberation Army (NLA) against a convoy of the Army of the Republic of Macedonia (ARM) near the village of Grupčin on 8 August 2001 amidst an ethnic Albanian insurgency in the country, in the final stages of the Yugoslav Wars. It was speculated that the ambush was carried out in retaliation for a Macedonian Police raid in Skopje the day before in which five NLA insurgents were killed. Ten members of the ARM's Military Reserve Force, including two officers, were killed at Karpalak and two others were wounded. The ambush was the single deadliest incident of the conflict up until that point. Shortly after the ambush, the Macedonian Air Force flew combat aircraft over Karpalak in a show of force and bombed predominantly Albanian villages on the outskirts of the nearby town of Tetovo. The attack was also followed by anti-Albanian riots in Prilep, home to all ten of the fallen reservists, in which multiple Albanian-owned properties were damaged or destroyed, including a mosque. The deaths of the reservists prompted Macedonian president Boris Trajkovski to dismiss the ARM's chief of staff from his post, the fourth such dismissal in less than two months. Several days later, Macedonian government officials and representatives of the NLA signed the Ohrid Agreement, paving the way for an end to the conflict. In the years following the ambush, the Macedonian government has commissioned several plaques commemorating the fallen reservists, which have become the frequent target of vandals. This has prompted complaints from veterans' organizations that the government has not done enough to ensure the reservists are properly commemorated. (en)
