The Johovica ambush was an attack by the NOZB, when they invaded the territory of the ARBiH through the territory of the RSK and successfully occupied a good part along the border of Cazinska Krajina and Serbian Krajina.[2] They also advanced south of Velika Kladuša, but the ARBiH stopped further expansion on the southern side and stabilized the front.[1]
