  • The Battle of Logorište was fought just to the east of Duga Resa and south of Karlovac, Croatia on 4–6 November 1991, during the Croatian War of Independence. It was a clash between the Croatian National Guard (Zbor narodne garde – ZNG) holding the Yugoslav People's Army (Jugoslovenska Narodna Armija – JNA) Logorište barracks under blockade started in the Battle of the Barracks on one side, and the garrison breaking out of the barracks, supported by JNA and SAO Krajina units deployed to lift blockade of Logorište barracks and other JNA garrisons in Karlovac. The combat ended after a ceasefire was signed in The Hague. Both sides in the conflict claimed victory, however neither achieved all of its objectives. While the JNA garrison managed to evacuate Logorište barracks, Croatian defences elsewhere held. Particularly heavy fighting was reported in Turanj suburb of Karlovac, identified as the primary axis of the JNA effort. While JNA removed a portion of the weapons and equipment stored in Logorište barracks, the remaining stocks of military supplies were being removed from the barracks for a week after the battle.
