Bosnian Serb general Ratko Mladic, who was serving a life sentence for war crimes committed during Bosnia's 1992-95 war, a United Nations official said.
Serbian state broadcaster RTS reported on Thursday that he died in a prison hospital in the Hague, after suffering several strokes.
A family member of Mladic, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, confirmed the reports to the Associated Press and said Mladic’s son, Darko Mladic, was on the way to the Hague.
The International Criminal Court for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) convicted Mladic of charges including crimes against humanity and genocide in 2017, handing him a life sentence. The verdict was confirmed on appeal in 2021.
