The Offensive on Kijevo, also known as Siege of Kijevo, was a military operation during the Kosovo War conducted by Yugoslav forces and Special Operations Units led by Milorad Ulemek.[3] The goal was to secure a connection to the highway. Various clashes occurred, and Yugoslav Troops succeeded in driving Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) out of Kijevo and the surrounding areas.[4][5][6]
