On the third day of Serbian Christmas, January 8, 1880, about a month after the battle of Novšiće, around 10,000 pro-Ottoman Albanians attacked the Montenegrin forces numbering 3,000, led by commanders Marko Miljanov and Todor Miljanov and priest Đoko, in Murino. At this battle, the Montenegrin forces were made up of the Bratonožići, Vasojevići and Moračani. The Albanians, among whom were Ottoman regulars (as in previous battles), had 1,400 casualties (dead and wounded), the Montenegrins 36 dead and 70 wounded.
