Today’s protest in Albania has escalated into violent clashes between police officers and demonstrators, with the situation appearing increasingly difficult to control.

As police attempted to advance, officers faced strong resistance from protesters. Molotov cocktails were reportedly thrown toward police lines, and two members of the Eagle special unit were momentarily engulfed in flames.

In separate incidents, two other officers were seen limping after reportedly being struck by stones thrown by demonstrators. Another officer appeared to be covered in blood.

Several police officers have reportedly been injured during the clashes as tensions continue to rise.

The situation remains tense, with further developments expected. CNN-style coverage will continue as more verified information becomes available.
