The Third bombardment of Mount Lovćen was a military engagement between the joint armies of Austria-Hungary and German Empire against the Kingdom of Montenegro in January 1916. It was a part of the Montenegrin campaign during World War I. After the fighting between 7 and 11 January 1916, the Austro-Hungarians were able to capture heavily fortified positions on the top of Lovćen mountain massif and later enter into Cetinje, former capital of Montenegro. A few days later, the Montenegrin army capitulated and the country was occupied.
