Following a months-long investigation, police authorities in Kosovo have undertaken a large-scale operation in Podujevë, searching the homes of several individuals suspected of an explosive attack that occurred earlier this year. During the action, firearms, ammunition, and other military-type equipment were found and confiscated.

The incident in question reportedly took place on March 11, 2026, in the village of Sfeqël, when a hand grenade was thrown towards the Shaqiri family home. Initially, the case was recorded as “Use of a dangerous weapon or instrument,” but as the investigation progressed and evidence was gathered in cooperation with the Prosecution, the charges were reclassified to “Attempted Murder,” “Incitement,” and “Unauthorized Possession of Weapons.”

According to exclusive information from Sinjali, the individuals involved in this investigation have been identified as Lavdim Zejnullahu-Parascan, around 37 years old, Liridon Lushaku, around 36 years old, and A.Z., around 26 years old. The victim of this attack is D.Sh., a 24-year-old man.

On July 21, investigators from the Serious Crimes Unit, supported by the Special Operations Unit and the K9 team, executed a warrant issued by the Basic Court in Pristina for the raid of two addresses in the city of Podujevë.

During the search of Lavdim Zejnullahu-Parascan’s home, law enforcement discovered and seized two pistols – one of which is suspected to be a gas weapon – along with 67 cartridges of various calibers, three pistol magazines, three long-gun magazines, a shell casing, as well as various rifle components.

At the other home, belonging to Liridon Lushaku, a pistol was found, for which a separate criminal case was opened for unlicensed weapon possession. Meanwhile, A.Z. was questioned by authorities regarding the same criminal offense and, by order of the prosecutor, was allowed to leave freely, with proceedings continuing at liberty.

Sources within the investigation indicate that during the operation, Lavdim Zejnullahu-Parascan and Liridon Lushaku were not at their homes. Official summonses have been sent for them to appear at the police station, and they are now wanted by authorities.

Investigations to fully uncover the circumstances of this event are ongoing.

A corn carrier was targeted by Russian missiles near the southern port of Odesa, leaving 10 victims. The vessel “Golden Leo”, flying the flag of Guinea-Bissau, was operated by a crew of Indians and Syrians.

On Sunday, three missiles struck the ship and caused a fire, the Ukrainian navy reported via Telegram.

According to the Ukrainian port authority, the search and rescue operation continued throughout the night, but unfortunately nine crew members and one of the marine pilots lost their lives. Eight of the 17 people on board were rescued.

The Black Sea became a hotbed of conflict immediately after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. However, thanks to a special grain deal aimed at reducing the impact on global prices and enabling both countries to export agricultural products, commercial shipping had largely returned to normal.

Now, Moscow and Kyiv are escalating offensives in the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, targeting key sources of revenue for the opposing side.

Ukrainian forces have struck Russian energy infrastructure, including oil tankers, while Russia is intensifying attacks on Ukraine’s deep-water ports and cargo ships.

The governor of the Odesa region announced on Monday that this month, Russian airstrikes have already caused 28 deaths in the area.

Both sides are major grain exporters, and the resurgence of violence on this sea route has raised concerns about supply security.

According to traders and analysts, Ukraine, which in recent seasons accounted for about 6% of global wheat exports and roughly 11% of corn, has lost about a third of its capacity to transport grain via Black Sea ports due to repeated Russian missile and drone attacks.

Two Lushnje fire engines intervened and extinguished the blaze, preventing it from spreading to other nearby homes, which were very close to the seat of the fire.

In addition to firefighters, police services from the Lushnje police commissariat were also at the scene and are working to determine the cause of the fire, which could have taken catastrophic proportions.

The fire is suspected to have been caused by an electrical spark.
