Operation Rain (Croatian: Operacija Kiša) or the Karlovac attack (Croatian: karlovački napad) was an offensive conducted by the proto-state Serbian Krajina in September 1993. Operation "Rain" was launched in retaliation to Croatian Police activity in the Medak Pocket, employed units by the Croatian Army (HV) were the 110th and 137th Brigades, alongside other intervention units. The attack was one of the largest conducted by the Serbian Army of Krajina (ARSK) against the Croatian Army and police positions in Karlovac, specifically in Turanj.
The Army of Serbian Krajina started with rocket and artillery attacks to destroy infrastructure and military positions, to cause general chaos in Karlovac. The Army of Serbian Krajina unsuccessfully attempted to seize Karlovac to gain an upper hand against Zagreb.
