Eight arrested after mysterious explosion disrupts Kosovo's power system

Kosovo faced major power-supply problems when an explosion hit a water-delivery system few days ago (the incident took place in north-eastern region where many Serbian people live)

The blast damaged a canal that feeds two main power-stations causing wide-spread blackouts and water shortages. Kosovo police moved quick to detain eight people connected to this incident; however details about suspects werent shared with public

Aleksandar Vucic Serbian president strongly denied his countrys involvement: he stated that such claims are nothing more than attempts of hybrid-warfare against Belgrade. The timing of these statements raised eye-brows as they came right after Pristinas announcement that called this a terrorist-act

Local authorities in Kosovo keep investigating the case while trying to fix damaged infrastructure - engineers work non-stop to restore normal water-flow to power plants. The whole situation shows how fragile cross-border relations remain; both sides point fingers at each-other (which is common in this region)
