Skopje, 14 November 2024 (MIA) - Police interviews are underway with people who may have certain knowledge on the explosion in a family house in Skopje's Keramidnica settlement, which left one person injured.

The Public Prosecutor's Office said that upon order of a public prosecutor, video surveillance footage is being provided and evidence collected at the scene of the incident will be subject to expert examination. 

Some media outlets reported that the person in question was Rade Trajkovski-Shtekli, who has previously been the target of two attacks so far. Last year, he was shot at in the East Gate Mall shopping center in Skopje.

The Ministry of Interior confirmed the incident earlier on Thursday. 

"Today (14.11.2024) at 9:20 a.m. it was reported to the Skopje police that an explosive device has been thrown in a yard in the Keramidnica settlement in Skopje. A person identified by the initials R.T. was injured in the explosion and was taken to the "St. Naum Ohridski" hospital for treatment," the Ministry said. 

The injured person has been taken to the "St. Naum Ohridski" hospital, and according to media reports, the person is not in life-threatening condition.  

Commenting on the case earlier today, Minister of Interior Panche Toshkovski announced an uncompromising fight against organized crime. "It's good that we don't have a life-threatening situation for anyone at this moment, it's bad that criminal gangs are still 'running rampant', but as institutions, we will respond accordingly, decisively and harshly to all those who 'disrupt' the peace of Macedonian citizens," said Toshkovski.
