Radimir Jankovic, head of the Kosovska Mitrovica healthcare center, told Tanjug that the children do not need surgical interventions.

Jankovic said that the Kosovska Mitrovica hospital will be able to offer full treatment to the children so that there is no need to transport them to any other healthcare center.
"The children are out of mortal danger and completely stable," Jankovic said.

X-ray examinations are underway, Jankovic said, adding that small pieces of shrapnel injured the boy's neck blood vessels.

Two Serb children aged three and nine were wounded in a blast in Kosovska Mitrovica late on Monday when an unidentified individual threw an explosive device at a Serb house in the Bosniak Mahala, one of the mixed quarters in Kosovska Mitrovica which is a home to both Serbs and Albanians. The police carried out a preliminary investigation at the scene.
