The Prijedor Opstina, or municipality, includes seventy-two towns and villages. Following the Serb takeover of Prijedor’s government, those towns and villages with large non-Serb populations came under heavy attack. Some civilians were shot as they fled or surrendered; others were captured and taken to nearby concentration camps. Homes were ransacked and burned, and mosques and Catholic churches were systematically destroyed. Towns targeted include Hambarine, Kozarac, Carakovo, Lisina, Jugovci, Volaric, and Redak.
