Medical staff had to halt the procedure, fearing a possible explosion. The hospital, unfamiliar with such protocols, immediately alerted the authorities, and around 1:40 a.m., police arrived and activated the bomb squad. The team established a security perimeter to neutralize the device so surgery could continue, though no one knew at that stage if the entire operation could blow up at any moment.

I'm conflicted about learning this. I find it informative, yet very very disturbing.

At first, I thought it was going to be about the start of WW I, given that Franz Ferdinand was assassinated by a serb in what later became Yugoslavia. It seems these are cursed people.
