Timeline

  1. Na autocesti A3 u Hrvatskoj, između Lužana i Brodskog Stupnika, metak je probio bočno staklo vozila hitne pomoći dok je bilo u pokretu i ranio medicinskog tehničara u ruku. Policijska uprava brodsko-posavska potvrdila je da je dojava zaprimljena oko 16:30 sati, a povrijeđeni je zbrinut u Općoj bolnici 'Dr. Josip Benčević' u Slavonskom Brodu, dok policija provodi istragu o okolnostima događaja.

  2. New reports add that a deformed bullet of unknown calibre was removed from the injured man's hand at the Slavonski Brod hospital, that the vehicle was driven by a 52-year-old driver who safely stopped it and gave first aid, and that police examined the scene and questioned several people as part of the investigation.

  3. The new reports add little substantive detail about the ambulance shooting beyond confirming police conducted a scene examination and interviews; two reports (Klix.ba and Dnevni avaz) describe an unrelated separate case of a driver fined for Russian flag and symbols on his car in the same region.
