[3] Since the stable and adequate electricity supply of Bosnian Krajina was threatened due to the state of war, the VRS decided to expand the corridor near Brčko in order to include and repair the electric line that passed through the villages of Brod, Donja Brka, Kolonija, Lipovac, Đukići and Bajići.

[4] The advantage of the defense was reflected in the terrain impassable by tanks (intertwined with canals) and flat area (easy control of enemy infantry attacks).

This meant that the armor and maneuverability of the elite infantry units, one of the main strengths of the VRS —was of little or no use from the start.

The turning point occurred on July 24, when special units of the VRS broke through the Muslim positions and occupied the villages of Brod and Lipovac.

By July 27 and the end of the operation, the VRS had conquered the following places: Dizdaruša, Brod, Kolonija, Lipovac, Omerbegovača and some parts of Brka.
