The Oborci massacre occurred on September 13, 1995, when soldiers from the 1st Krajina Corps of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) abducted 24 Bosniak and 4 Croat civilians from the town of Mrkonjić Grad and executed them near a railway station in the then—abandoned village of Oborci in the municipality of Donji Vakuf.[1] The victims were previously forced to dig trenches in various places in the upper Vrbas valley near the frontlines. The massacre took place just before Bosnian Serb forces withdrew from Donji Vakuf.[2][3]
