Škarda is an uninhabited Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea located between Premuda and Ist (island). Its area is 3.78 km2 (1.46 sq mi). [1]
The hamlet of Škarda that consists of 16 dwellings [2] was completely depopulated by the 1990s. [3]
During the Croatian War of Independence, on 10 September 1991, members of a naval special unit, after landing from a motorboat and a sailboat, the Maša and the Nirvana, disabled the Yugoslav Mirna-class patrol boat Biokovo with a Malyutka antitank missile fired from a cove at Škarda island. [4] [5]
