As I can't edit the page directly, I'll suggest it here:

• The SMS Bodrog of the Austro-Hungarian Navy fires the first shots of World War I, shelling Serbian defences near Belgrade

Although I've just spotted that the article on the ship says on "on the night of 28 July" and does not specify a time, and July Crisis say 1 a.m. on 29th, so perhaps it belongs with the next day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.205.251.81 (talk) 07:39, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

Thanks, I have added it to the 29th. —howcheng {chat} 21:43, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
