Kosovar police units have moved in to secure and search a village in north Kosovo, a day after three assailants were killed in a shootout in the restive region.
They then used an armoured vehicle to break down the gates to the monastery in the village, where they remained in a stand-off with Kosovo police until evening.
Three of the attackers were killed and two injured. Another Kosovar police officer was injured in the confrontation near the monastery. Police seized vehicles used by the gunmen which contained an arsenal of firearms of different calibres, explosives, ammunition and logistics capable of equipping hundreds of persons, according to Kosovo Interior Minister Xhelal Svecla.
