Kosovo Standoff: Police Kill Armed Attackers in Monastery Siege
Kosovo police engaged in a shootout with 30 armed attackers in the village of Banjska, resulting in the deaths of three attackers and the arrest of another. The incident occurred hours after an ambush left one police officer dead and another injured. The attackers were found in possession of illegal radio communications and are suspected of being linked to a terrorist group. The situation remains tense, with ongoing attacks on police officers. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, but tensions between the two regions persist. The EU has called for de-escalation and condemned the attack.
