On 26 March 1992, a number of Serb civilians were killed in Sijekovac near Bosanski Brod, Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Croatian border. The assailants were members of Croat and Bosniak army units. The exact number of casualties is unknown, but it is generally believed that between nine and eleven people were murdered at the time. The massacre is frequently cited as one of the very earliest documented atrocities of the Bosnian War. Legal prosecution of the murders was lacking, with only one perpetrator having been apprehended and tried as of 2024. The Republika Srpska authorities commemorated a number of civilian victims on a monument in Sijekovac, not all of which were necessarily connected to the same massacre. A 2004 exhumation unearthed 58 bodies of war victims, of whom 18 were children, but they are believed to have been connected to a separate massacre dated to May 1992.
