The Battle of Lođa (Serbian: Boj na Lođi, Serbian Cyrillic: Бој на лођи, Albanian: Beteja e Logjës) was fought during the Kosovo War in the village of Logjë first on 6-12 July 1998 and again later on 10-17 August 1998. The battle was fought between the Yugoslav Army against the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) and the Armed Forces of the Republic of Kosova (FARK). The first battle was an operation launched to counterattack the Albanian rebels after two Yugoslav policemen patrolling the area had been killed. The first battle ended in an KLA victory, while the second operation ended in a Yugoslav victory. All of the village's 284 houses and mosque were destroyed by the Serbian Police with bulldozers.
