Violent Attack in Kosovo Leaves Police Officer Dead and Another Injured

One police officer was killed and another injured in a shooting near the Kosovo-Serbia border, with Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti describing it as a "terrorist action" backed by officials from Serbia. At least 30 gunmen have been surrounded by authorities, and Kurti called on them to surrender. The incident has led to the closure of the border crossing between Kosovo and Serbia. Tensions have been escalating in the region following Kosovo's decision to install ethnic Albanian mayors in Serb-majority municipalities. European Union-sponsored talks on normalizing relations between Kosovo and Serbia have stalled.
