The Operation Coast-91 (Operacija Obala-91) was a Serbian military campaign in Croatia in the northern parts of the coastal region of Dalmatia that took place in the later half of 1991.
The local Serb rebel militia, with extensive support of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA), launched their attack with the aim of capturing the Croatian coastline and cutting Dalmatia off from the rest of Croatia. The operation as such failed and the JNA was stopped before they could reach the sea, but after it Dalmatia did have severely reduced land links with the rest of Croatia.

Famous quotes containing the word operation:
“It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
