The Ambush near Suva Reka (Serbian: Zaseda kod Suve Reke) was an incident that occurred during the Kosovo War when members of the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) ambushed a MUP convoy,[2] killing three Serbian policemen near the village of Duhël, close to Suva Reka.[3][4][5][6][7] The three Serbian policemen were blown up by a rocket-propelled grenade that exploded on impact with their squad car.[3][7]
The result of the ambush was due to Yugoslav troops shelling the village of Sllapuzhan.[7]
