At least 80 people, possibly more, are feared dead after an attack by Croatian nationalist troops.

Over 1,700 nationalist troops were captured alive by the attacking communists.

Meanwhile, over 300 nationalist troops counterattacked under the cover of their own artillery fire support.

Although more than 300,000 nationalist troops were mobilized in this campaign, around two third of them was deployed to guard the newly conquered land.

Less than ten out of the original forty nationalist troops survived and quickly retreated back to the safety of the city wall.
