- ↑ Serbia claims that 1,008 Yugoslav soldiers and policemen were killed by NATO bombing.[33] NATO initially claimed that 5,000 Yugoslav servicemen had been killed and 10,000 had been wounded during the NATO air campaign.[34][35] NATO has since revised this estimation to 1,200 Yugoslav soldiers and policemen killed.[36]
