The Bombardment of Belgrade was an attack carried out by Austria-Hungary on the Serbian capital during the night of 28–29 July 1914. It is considered the first military action of World War I. The bombardment started hours after the Austro-Hungarian declaration of war on Serbia. Three warships of the Austrian Danube Flotilla opened fire on the Serbian capital, followed in the early morning by Habsburg artillery from the town of Semlin (Zemun) across the Sava. The sporadic shelling caused widespread damage and mark the opening of the First Serbian Campaign. Upon hearing the news Tsar Nicholas II's government ordered general mobilisation of the Russian forces. The bombardment was followed, on 12 August, by the Habsburg Balkanstreitkräfte invasion of Serbia.
