The bombing of Zagreb in World War II was carried out by the Allies from 1944 until 1945. According to a 1950 census of war victims, a total of 327 people were killed by bombing.
Over the course of the bombing, the areas of Črnomerec, Borongaj and Pleso were hit the hardest. Borongaj was targeted as a location of a military airfield.
