The bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, also known in China as the May 8th incident, occurred May 7, 1999, during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, when a US B-2 Spirit dropped five Joint Direct Attack Munition satellite-guided bombs on the Embassy of China, Belgrade, FR Yugoslavia, killing three Chinese journalists and injuring twenty-seven others. According to the US, the intention had been to bomb the headquarters of Yugoslav weapons importer Yugoimport, 440 meters south on the same street. President Bill Clinton apologized for the bombing, claiming it was an accident.
