Blast at Kosovo canal a 'terrorist attack' - PM

An explosion damaged a canal supplying water to Kosovo's two main coal-fired power plants, Prime Minister Albin Kurti said, blaming a "terrorist attack" by neighbouring Serbia.

"This is a criminal and terrorist attack aimed at damaging our critical infrastructure", Mr Kurti told a press conference late last night.

"The attack was carried out by professionals. We believe it comes from gangs directed by Serbia," he added without providing any evidence.
