Explosives were discovered near a Russian gas pipeline on Serbian territory close to the Hungarian border
Serbian authorities found two backpacks containing explosives and detonators near the TurkStream gas pipeline that carries Russian gas to Hungary. The discovery occurred days before Hungary's parliamentary election, with Hungarian PM Viktor Orban placing the pipeline under military protection. Various parties have made conflicting claims about responsibility, with Orban suggesting Ukrainian involvement while Serbian officials and opposition figures dispute this characterization.
