Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic denied as "baseless accusations" by Kosovo that it was behind an explosion that damaged the Iber-Lepenc water canal supplying Kosovo’s two main coal power plants. Kosovar Prime Minister Albin Kurti called the November 29 blast a "criminal and terrorist attack" by northern neighbor and bitter rival Serbia. He said the attack aimed to "damage perhaps the most important infrastructure" in the country. The attack did not cause any casualties. Authorities say some regions may have no electricity on November 30, while the capital, Pristina, may be short on drinking water while the damage is fixed.
