Summary

An explosion damaged a canal supplying water to Kosovo’s main power plants, prompting Prime Minister Albin Kurti to label it a “terrorist act” orchestrated by “gangs directed by Serbia.”

Serbia denied involvement. The blast threatens electricity for parts of Kosovo and follows other attacks in northern areas with significant Serbian populations.

Eight arrests and a large weapon cache were reported during the investigation.

The EU and US condemned the attack, urging accountability.

Tensions remain high as Serbia refuses to recognize Kosovo’s independence, declared in 2008.
