Hand grenades were thrown at buildings of the European Union and United Nations on Sunday in the Kosovo Serb stronghold city of Mitrovica, after Kosovo declared independence with EU backing. One grenade exploded at the U.N. mission causing no significant damage, a Western source in the city said. EU officials evacuated their building, which houses the team preparing a mission to supervise Kosovo's independence. "Officials abandoned the (EU) building. Security guards said two hand grenades had been thrown. One had exploded," the source told Reuters. Police sources said a vehicle belonging to the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) was damaged in the blast at the UN carpark.
