NATO FORCE FINDS SECOND MINE ON KOSOVO BLAST ROAD
FoNet - July 16, 2003

Zubin Potok: Srdjan Mutavdzic, 30 years of age, from the village of Dren near Zubin Potok, luckily escaped with his life today when his lorry hit an anti-tank mine planted on a road, the Raska-Prizren Eparchy information service has reported.

(Passage omitted)

For years Serbs have been using this road and according to Mutavdzic, it was highly unlikely that the explosive device was left over from the war.

Kfor (Kosovo Force) today immediately went out to the scene of the disaster and found a second anti-tank mine buried in the road, which once again confirms that the mines were placed there in the course of the night.
