The Battle of Ginietyny, one of many skirmishes of the January Uprising, took place on April 21, 1863, near Lithuanian village of Ginietyny (Genėtiniai), located about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) west of Raguva. 300 Polish insurgents under Colonel Zygmunt Sierakowski clashed here with soldiers of the Imperial Russian Army.
An insurgent group, camping in a forest, found out about a Russian column, which tried to approach the Lithuanians. Sierakowski decided to carry out a surprise attack, in which 40 Russians died and 60 were wounded. The insurgents lost only 6 men.
