#Knin

Toni Matijević has led the safety and rescue team at the Dinaric Rally for five years, where the key is reaching an injured driver as quickly as possible on the rugged terrain of Dinara.

The fire on Dinara is still not under control, the terrain is inaccessible, and firefighters had to retreat during the day. The Croatian Army is also involved in the extinguishing efforts.

Works on the 9.1-kilometer road include a new 220-meter bridge over the Čikola River, carried out by Croatian company Texo Molior from Cavtat and Slovenian firm CGP.

Fire on inaccessible terrain still active, firefighters battle a kilometer-long front, and residents advised to exercise caution due to smoke and ash.

The Krčić waterfall near Knin has dried up once more, but for this intermittent karst watercourse, the summer disappearance of water is a regular occurrence, not an extraordinary event.

On the night of August 12-13, 1995, war criminal Ratko Mladić launched a counteroffensive aimed at regaining lost positions after Operation Storm. The key battle was fought for the strategic Derale pass, the 'gate to Knin.'

Police officers from the Drug Crime Department spotted him on Monday afternoon due to suspicious behavior, and a search revealed 16.7 grams of drugs.

Montenegrin PM accuses Serbian president of double standards, claiming he fails to understand European politics and sends contradictory messages to Moscow and Europe.

Zvonimir Cigić, Head of the Šibenik Station of the Croatian Mountain Rescue Service (HGSS), warns of an intense August with up to two missions per day, with over 80% of all interventions involving searches for missing persons.

The rescue operation for a German national lasted about fifteen minutes, and due to the inaccessible terrain, the helicopter could not land, so rescuers were lowered by winch.

During the summer, the number of interventions jumps by up to 40%, and the Skradin branch covers a vast area from Krka National Park to the hinterland and the highway. Specialized technicians are keeping the system afloat.

A high-pressure system over Europe is blocking cooler air from moving in. No significant cooldown is in sight until at least the Assumption of Mary, with temperatures in the interior expected to remain above 30 degrees.

In Šibenik-Knin County, no one has applied for a pediatrician position in a year and a half. The system is kept afloat by retirees, with consequences visible in vaccination rates and the burden on existing doctors.

The extraction of an injured German national on Saturday evening lasted about fifteen minutes on the ground, but the preparations and flight demanded exceptional precision due to the inaccessible mountain terrain.

While the Prime Minister repeats the official narrative that Operation Storm saved Bihać from disaster, the magazine of the Bosniak National Council, led by his coalition partner Armin Hodžić, calls this claim a historical falsification and a myth.

The operation involved the Croatian Air Force, special forces members, and HGSS. The injured individual was safely transported and handed over to hospital staff in Knin in the evening hours.
