The 1992 Yugoslav People's Army column incident in Tuzla was an attack on the 92nd Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) Motorized Brigade in the Bosnian city of Tuzla that took place on 15 May 1992. The incident occurred at the road junction of Brčanska Malta as the JNA was undergoing an agreed-upon withdrawal from the city. At least 50 members of the JNA were killed and 44 wounded during the attacks.
An ethnic Croat Bosnian officer, Ilija Jurišić, was convicted by a Serbian court of improper battlefield conduct but the conviction was later overturned and he was released from detention.
