On the morning of April 23, 1998, a band of Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) fighters was ambushed by a much smaller group of Yugoslav Army (VJ) border guards near the Košare outpost, just west of Dečani. The fighters had been trying to smuggle weapons and supplies into Kosovo via northern Albania. Nineteen were killed in the ensuing attack, and a further two were captured. The VJ did not sustain any casualties. Some of the militants retreated back to Albania, while others managed to break through the ambush and make it past the Yugoslav border, into Kosovo. Following the clash, the VJ confiscated a large quantity of arms that the militants had been transporting.

  • 1998年4月23日上午,科索沃解放军的一群战士在代查尼西边的科沙雷哨所附近遭到了南斯拉夫军边防部队的伏击,但是规模并不大。这些武装分子试图通过阿尔巴尼亚北部将武器和物资走私到科索沃。在随后的袭击中,共有19人被杀以及两人被捕,南斯拉夫方面没有任何伤亡。一些武装分子撤退到阿尔巴尼亚,而另一些则设法突破伏击,越过南斯拉夫边界进入科索沃。在冲突之后,南斯拉夫军队没收了武装分子所运输的大量武器。 阿尔巴尼亚北部和科索沃西部的村民报告说,他们在伏击地点附近听到了爆炸声,并在第二天的大部分时间里看到直升机从头顶飞过。阿尔巴尼亚官员后来指称,其中两架直升飞机侵犯了该国领空,阿尔巴尼亚将精兵部队调到南斯拉夫边界作为回应。南斯拉夫当局指控阿尔巴尼亚支持科索沃解放军。作为对这次伏击的回应,美国官员表示他们将推动对南斯拉夫重新实施制裁,并表示他们将寻求冻结该国的海外资产。一些阿尔巴尼亚消息来源指称,这些人并没有遭到伏击,而是被南斯拉夫保安部队绑架和杀害,这种说法无法得到西方记者的证实。但是到了同年晚些时候,国际特赦组织证实这些人是在越境走私武器时遭到伏击身亡的。 (zh)
