The first assassination attempt on Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria occurred on June 28, 1914, in Sarajevo. A group of Serbian nationalists known as the Black Hand planned the attack, and one of the conspirators, Nedeljko Cabrinovic, threw a hand grenade at the Archduke's motorcade. The grenade missed its target, injuring several bystanders instead. The Archduke was unharmed, and the assassination attempt initially failed, but later that day, he was assassinated by Gavrilo Princip.
