It was, said the Prime Minister, one of the largest operations of the Croatian Armed Forces, which proved to be equally capable to cope with the enemy and liberate its country in its borders.

During the campaign, an area of 108 square kilometers and 7 villages in the Šibenik hinterland was liberated.

Seven Croatian soldiers were killed, while the enemy side suffered significantly greater losses in manpower and equipment.
