PRISTINA, Serbia (AFP) — A strong blast in the Kosovo capital Pristina killed two people and injured 11 on Monday amid renewed tensions arising from the future of the UN-administered Serbian province.
A double-storey business centre on Bill Clinton Boulevard was severely damaged by the explosion at 2:10 am (0010 GMT), which damaged at least a dozen shops, cafes and restaurants at the premises, police said.
One person was immediately killed, the other died of injuries in a hospital, while another victim was in critical condition, local police and medical authorities said, adding that the others' lives were not threatened.
Police sealed off the area and launched an investigation with NATO-led peacekeeping force KFOR.
"It sounded like thunder," a witness who was in a cafe across the street at the time of the incident said as a special KFOR unit searched for other possible explosive devices.
The force of the blast, which apparently targetted the top floor, left shards of glass and debris scattered along the road, including from cars and residential buildings up to 60 metres (65 yards) away.
