2014 Macedonian government building attack
On the night of 28 October 2014 at around 22:00, the Macedonian government building was attacked with two projectiles, damaging the walls and roof of the building.[1][2][3] No casualties were reported. Speculations have occurred that the event was linked to the then recent proclamation of the so-called Republic of Ilirida.[4] The government building was also attacked by RPG rounds in 2007.[3] A movement calling itself the National Liberation Army (NLA), a militant organization that fought against the Macedonian government during the 2001 insurgency in Macedonia, claimed responsibly for the attack.[1] In a press release published by Alsat, and signed by Commander Kushtrim, the organization claimed that the Hasan Prishtina elite force hit the government building in a coordinated action.[1] The organization claims it is "discontented" with the 2001 Ohrid Agreement peace plan.[1]
