| - The fighting stopped on 5 October, when a cease-fire agreement was concluded by the belligerents, after the JNA had reached the outskirts of Zadar and completely blocked all land routes to the city. The subsequent negotiations resulted in a partial withdrawal of the JNA, restoring road access to Zadar via the Adriatic Highway, and the evacuation of JNA facilities located in the city. The JNA completed a part of its stated objectives. While it denied the use of the Maslenica Bridge to Croatia, thus interdicting the last overland route between the Croatian capital of Zagreb and Zadar, a route via Pag Island remained available, although that transport route relied on the use of a ferry. The JNA Zadar garrison was evacuated through the negotiations, but the ZNG captured several relatively small JNA posts in the city. The port was never captured by the JNA, although it was blockaded by the Yugoslav Navy. The September–October fighting caused 34 civilian deaths in the city of Zadar, all of whom were killed by artillery bombardment. Afterwards, Croatia charged 19 JNA officers involved in the offensive with war crimes against civilian population. They were tried and convicted in absentia and sentenced to prison.
