A powerful blast woke residents of Nehruova Street in New Belgrade on Friday at around 3.20 a.m. The device went off outside a family house, and the owners were home at the time. None of the occupants were hurt.
The detonation left a visible mark on the building. According to first reports, the facade was damaged, windows were shattered and part of the terrace was hit. Police went to the scene immediately and secured the area, while the investigation is still under way.
What is known about the device and the damage
Some media outlets say a hand grenade was thrown at the house. Authorities have not yet officially confirmed that claim, so it remains unverified until the forensic examination is complete. Only an expert assessment can establish what kind of device it was and how much explosive was used.
The material damage is described as substantial. Residents of nearby buildings heard a loud blast, and some of them came out into the street after the explosion. Based on initial estimates at the scene, the damage includes the following:
- cracked and shattered windows on the house
- a damaged facade on the ground floor
- visible damage to the terrace
The investigation and the collection of evidence should reveal from what position the device was thrown and whether vehicles were used in the attack or it was carried out from close range.
Was the family targeted before?
According to unofficial sources, the house on Nehruova Street has not been targeted for the first time. Sources close to the investigation say the owner’s car was set on fire outside the house earlier. If that link is confirmed, the inquiry could move toward the theory of organised pressure on the family.
For now there are no suspects, and no one has been reported detained. Authorities are working to establish the motive and identify the perpetrator. Until an official statement is issued, all assumptions about the background of the attack remain unverified.
Explosions outside residential buildings in Belgrade have not been a rarity in recent months, and each of them carries a risk to the lives of passers-by and neighbours. In this case, the fortunate circumstance is that there were no injuries, even though the occupants were inside the house.
Will the forensic examination confirm that this was a hand grenade, and is there a link to the earlier car fire?
