Kosovo's infrastructure hit by mysterious explosions in ethnic-mixed region

A major blast hit Kosovoʼs northern region damaging a vital water-canal system which led to wide-spread utility disruptions. Prime Minister Albin Kurti pointed to Serbia-backed groups for the incident that happened in Vrage (located bout 37 miles from capital)

The explosion caused significant problems for local infrastructure: cutting off water access to multiple cities and affecting main power-plants operations. This incident wasnt isolated - it followed a troubling pattern of similar events in the ethnically-diverse northern area

The region experienced these attacks in quick succession:

  • Water-canal infrastructure damage
  • Local police station blast
  • Government building explosion

The predominantly ethnic-Serb populated northern territory has seen increased instability lately. The local authorities are working to restore basic services while dealing with the after-effects of these infrastructure-related incidents
