The reported bombing of Katyr-Yurt (Chechnya) occurred on February 4, 2000, when Russian forces bombed the village of Katyr-Yurt and a refugee convoy under white flags in an attempt to stop the breakout of the Chechen separatist forces from Grozny (or so claimed Russia), killing or injuring hundreds of people. The village was also previously bombed by the Russians in 1995 and in 1996.
