Army of Republika Srpska Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina 1993 1994 1995 The Operation Autumn '94 (in Bosnian: Operacija Jesen '94), also called the Second Mitrovdan offensive (in Serbian Latin: Druga mitrovdanska ofanziva; in Serbian Cyrillic: Друга митровданска офанзива) was an operation carried out by the ARBiH against the VRS during the Bosnian War, with the goal of taking control over Podvelež and Velež, south-east of Mostar.

Since the Bosniak army lacked armored vehicles and large-calibre weapons but was far more numerous in infantry, the ARBiH developed the doctrine of inserting large sabotage groups into the rear of the VRS.

After the October unsuccessful attacks on Konjic, which was defended by the 2nd Herzegovina Brigade of the VRS, the ARBiH shifted its focus to the Mostar–Nevesinje direction, launching the operation codenamed Autumn '94.

[7] The ARBiH began preparing the attack by inserting 1,000 saboteurs, part of the Black Swans unit,[8] behind the lines of the VRS 8th Motorized Brigade on November 9.

The battle broke out on November 11, when the ARBiH launched a frontal attack, but the VRS fighters defended all positions, especially in the village of Banjdol.
