The massacre occurred between 12:10 and 12:20 PM, when a 120 millimeter mortar shell landed in the center of the crowded marketplace. Rescue workers and United Nations (UN) personnel rushed to help the numerous civilian casualties, while footage of the event soon made news reports across the world.

The Markale massacre is a war crime, another in a series of evidence of the inhumanity, brutality and absurdity of the entire war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This massacre, as well as the siege of Sarajevo, which took place at the very end of the twentieth century, is an act for any condemnation. The marking of the anniversary of Markale massacre should be and remain the true act of fighting against inhumanity and the oblivion of all that evil that happened in Sarajevo in the recent past.
