EULEX has confirmed that a decoy bomb (shock bomb) was thrown at an EULEX patrol last evening near Rudare.

According to EULEX, no officials of the EULEX Specialized Police Unit were injured and no material damage was caused.

"This attack, as well as the attacks on police officials of the Kosovo Police, are unacceptable. We strongly condemn the violent acts committed by armed persons in the northern part of Kosovo, including those against the international community. EULEX will continue to work with determination to support the stability of Kosovo, within the mandate it has, as well as to contribute to the safety of the population from all communities. We appeal to all those who are responsible to refrain from other provocative actions, and we call on the institutions of Kosovo to bring the perpetrators to justice", says a EULEX communique.
