An explosive device detonated late Thursday at the home of a criminalistics officer in the northern Albanian city of Shkodër, causing significant material damage but leaving no one injured, according to the information provided.

The explosive was reportedly planted at the residence of Ardian Beçina, located in the city’s Western Ring Road area. Several people were inside the house at the time of the blast, but no injuries were reported.

The explosion caused considerable damage to the property, prompting police to respond to the scene and launch an investigation.

Authorities are working to identify those responsible and establish the circumstances surrounding the incident. One line of inquiry being examined is whether the attack may be connected to the officer’s professional duties.

However, investigators have not yet reached an official conclusion regarding the motive or the identity of the perpetrators.

The investigative team continues to collect evidence and document the scene as the investigation remains ongoing.
