The images show the aftermath of a terrorist attack on a concrete aqueduct (canal) in the municipality of Zubin Potok, northern Kosovo. 15 – 20kg of explosives were used to to damage the reinforced concrete.
The canal supplies drinking water to most of the country’s population and also provides cooling for Kosovo’s power plants.
Kosovo authorities have arrested 8 individuals in relation to the attack who belong to the local Serb organisation Civilna Zastita (Civil Protection), which the government in Kosovo has declared as a terrorist group.
Kosovo chief of police, Gazmend Hoxha, said officers raided 10 locations, seizing more than 200 military uniforms, six shoulder-fired rocket launchers, long weapons, pistols and ammunition.
The EU and Kosovo have since condemned the attack. A press release by the High Representative of the EU, Josep Borel, specifically labeled it a ‘Terrorist attack’. A temporary fix was implemented to keep the water flowing.
This will only make Government of Kosovo treat Kosovo Serbs worse.

Is there any evidence that Serbia is behind this? I see Kurti is blaming them.

Albanians maybe did it themselves so they can point out fingers to serbia and say “its them, terrosts, bad people, they did it again, we are victims”. Already seen scenario…

What’s weirdabout this part of the world is that they are all ethnically the same except for which god they pray too.

Even if it’s done by someone who has a connection with the Serbian government it’s to divert attention from all the other crap going on in Serbia right now because that’s how the Serbian president works. I’m Serb and I’m 100% sure that it can be the only reason.
After all, Kosovo and Serbian governments do these things together to then blame each other in public just to keep the tension up.

Serbia already called for KFOR and EULEX investigation. So until they say anything I wouldn’t trust anything from both Serbia and Kosovo.

When did it happen ? During the war or recently ?

Atrocious.
I remember when in 2010 or 2012 people were scared that in the future there will be a dystopia because of invigilation, monitoring, cameras, drones tracking everywhere,
now i say we don’t have enough cameras!
And there should be more to help track villains instantly.
(If this was a case of someone planting explosives, not an air strike, this i honestly don’t know, cause havent’t read much into the topic, just saw the photos.)

Just a reminder that Serbs are very commonly victims of Albanian terrorism in Kosovo too. This topic’s comments are extremely biased.

For example, here is last year Christmas time – https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/2-serbians-shot-in-kosovo-on-orthodox-christmas-eve-says-belgrade/2781620 .
I can find at least 20 other incidents with innocent Serbian civilian victims from just last 10 years.
Both people have a victim complex, but the violence is, and has historically been, very much coming from both sides.
