Text of report by Montenegrin Mina news agency

Pristina, 23 April: An armed group of unidentified persons this morning around 0100 [2300 gmt] attacked the house owned by Danilo Dzolic in Tucep village near Istok in Kosovo.

Nobody was injured during the attack, but material damage was inflicted on the house in which Dzolic and his wife were at the time of the attack.

The attackers probably wanted to steal Dzolic's tractor given that four similar vehicles had already been stolen from the village.

The inhabitants of Tucep chased the attackers away firing shots from hunting weapons which members of the Kosovo Police Service and Kfor [NATO-led Kosovo Force] today confiscated during their investigation.
