KOSOVSKA MITROVICA -- A mobile telephony transmitter was targeted in a neighborhood of the town of Zubin Potok in northern Kosovo by unknown perpetrators this morning.

This came after two incidents occurred in the north of the province late on Wednesday.

The first attack targeted a transmitter of cell phone operator IPKO and the second the Zubin Potok police station.

Regional spokesman for the KPS Besim Hoti told Tanjug that an explosion, which occurred around midnight Wednesday, damaged the transmitter in the municipality of Leposavić.

Police determined that an explosive device was planted in the structure which houses the cell phone repeater and caused a fire when it detonated, Hoti said.

This is the third attack on the property of this cell phone operator in the last week.

Unidentified attackers threw a hand grenade into the yard of the Zubin Potok police station early onThursday.

The explosion broke windows at the police station and damaged nearby dumpsters, Hoti said.

The Kosovo police, KPS, was treating both incidents as public endangerment and looking for the perpetrators, he said.
