The <entity_1> (Albanian: Masakra e Reçakut) or <entity_3> operation (Serbian: Акција Рачак/Akcija <entity_3>) was the mass killing of 45 <entity_2> Albanians that took place in the village of <entity_3> (Albanian: Reçak) in central <entity_2> in <entity_0>. NATO's involvement in the <entity_2> conflict in the months postdating the <entity_3> incident altogether lasted 78 days and consisted of a series of tactical airstrikes against critical targets of military or strategic import. <entity_3> is a small Albanian-inhabited village in the Štimlje municipality of southern <entity_2>. On <entity_0>, reports were received by the <entity_2> Verification Mission (KVM), an unarmed observer force from the OSCE, of civilians being killed in <entity_3>. In its indictment of Slobodan Milošević and four other senior Yugoslav and Serbian officials, the ICTY's Chief Prosecutor stated that: On or about <entity_0>, in the early morning hours, the village of <entity_3> was attacked by forces of the FRY and Serbia. A film crew working for the Associated Press accompanied the Serbian forces in <entity_3> for part of <entity_0>. Many western governments, human rights groups and international organisations insisted that the <entity_3> operation was a deliberate massacre, conducted in defiance of earlier Serbian agreements to end the violence in <entity_2>. On January 22, the Contact Group of countries with an interest in Yugoslavia (Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia and the United States) issued a joint statement condemning "the massacre of <entity_2> Albanians in <entity_3> on <entity_0>. The Contact Group also called for Yugoslav authorities to "work with the International Tribunal to ensure that those responsible for <entity_3> are brought to justice suspend those VJ and MUP officers operating in <entity_3> on <entity_0> pending the results of this investigation becoming available".
