End of The Operation
The operation was successfully concluded by November and Croatia captured 21 villages and approximately 270 square kilometers of its territory, thwarting JNA's strategic plan to isolate Slavonia.
More importantly, a strategic supply route via Virovitica - Grubišno Polje - Kutina road was reopened, which was the most important land route to Slavonia until Operation Flash. Furthermore, this operation set the stage for the Operation Orkan 91 which marked yet another advance by Croatian army in this area.
