[Presenter] Another attack against the Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija has taken place. Two explosive devices were thrown at a house owned by Zorica Mitrovic in the northern, Serb-populated part of Kosovska Mitrovica in which refugees from Istok live. Fortunately, nobody was injured.

[Reporter] Seven members of the Bojic family, including children, were inside the house when the attack took place.

[Male captioned as Bojic family member] They wanted to lob the other one [explosive device] inside the room, but it bounced and fell, but this one went off [presumably Molotov cocktail] here and set the roof on fire, here [shows roof], these gutters and the roof, all the way up. Then the firemen came.

[Reporter] Despite the facts, Kosovo Police Service spokesman Sami Mehmeti said it is not known what caused the fire. This is the tenth such attack on this Serb house in multiethnic Bosniak Mahala [district of Kosovska Mitrovica].
