A group of protesters has moved to the Zogu i Zi area of Tirana, heading toward the University of Sports, where they have begun damaging property along their route, according to reports from the scene.

The movement comes as protests across the Albanian capital continue to escalate, with incidents of violence, property damage and clashes with police reported in multiple locations.

The situation remains tense, with demonstrators dispersed across several areas of the city as the unrest spreads beyond the central protest locations.

The latest developments add to a night of mounting disorder in Tirana, where public institutions, private businesses and other properties have been targeted during hours of demonstrations.

Authorities have faced growing challenges in containing the unrest as protesters move between different parts of the capital.
