PRISTINA (AFP)— Three people were injured in a blast overnight in northern Kosovo, which is populated mostly by the Serb minority, Kosovo police said Sunday.

"A blast occurred around 2:15 a.m.(0015 GMT) in the centre of Leposavic," a Serb-populated town, police spokesman Besim Hoti told AFP.

Hoti said an "explosive device, apparently a hand grenade, was thrown from a moving vehicle," adding that an investigation was underway.

The blast took place just hours after the start of the celebration of Orthodox Easter.

The three injured were taken to hospital in nearby Kosovska Mitrovica.

Around 40,000 mostly Orthodox Christian Serbs live in the northern part of Kosovo, bordering Serbia, out of the 120,000 who remain here.
