Albanian teenagers injured during rocket attack of Serbian town

THREE blasts rocked a town in Serbia’s volatile south close to the troubled Kosovo province, injuring two teenagers, authorities said yesterday.

The explosions late last night were near a community centre for residents of Presevo, 190 miles south of Belgrade. The town of more than 20,000 people is populated predominantly by ethnic Albanians but also has a small Serb minority.

According to a statement by the local government office, two projectiles fired from a rocket-propelled grenade launcher landed in the yard of the centre while a third hit a private home nearby.
