According to unofficial information, the target was the car used by well-known MMA fighter Milos Kostic from Vranje.

Nobody has been injured, and the police are at the scene. Fortunately, at the time of the detonation, there was no one in the vehicle, nor its immediate vicinity. According to eyewitnesses, the detonation was extremely strong and disturbed the residents in the surrounding buildings and the vendors at the nearby market.

"There was a terrible bang, we thought something had exploded in the market. Only later did we see smoke and the police blocking off the whole neighborhood," said one of the passers-by.

Investigation in progress

Members of the Ministry of the Interior (MUP) immediately went to the scene and cordoned off the area. A police investigation is currently underway to determine what type of explosive was used, how the device was activated, and what the motive was.

Traffic in this part of the city temporarily slowed down, and more details are expected after the police in Vranje issue an official statement.

Kostic was previously involved in serious incidents. In April 2025, he was shot at from an AK-47 but managed to survive. In December 2023, he was involved in a shooting in a Vranje restaurant after getting into a fight with a local businessman. Kostic was injured on this occasion as well.
