Victory Day (Dhivehi: ނަޞްރުގެ ދުވަސް) is a public holiday in the Republic of Maldives held annually on November 3. It commemorates the failure of a coup attempt in 1988, when a group of Maldivian rebels, supported by Tamil mercenaries from the People's Liberation Organisation of Tamil Eelam (PLOTE), attempted to overthrow the government of then-president Maumoon Abdul Gayoom.
