Local LDK sources, quoting eye-witnesses, said five to six people might have died in the explosion.

Besnik Shabani (20), resident of Podujeva, died of wounds in the town clinic, whereas a resident of Majanc village died in the Prishtina hospital of wounds he suffered in Podujeva.

Initial, unconfirmed sources spoke earlier of at least five killed, at a time the number of wounded people was put at 28.

Among the seriously and lightly wounded in Podujeva are also Remzi Muçolli, Jakup Visoka, Murat Hodolli, Adile Sheholli, Genc T. Hasani, Shukrije Berisha, Jusuf Jusufi, and Muharrem Zejnullahu.

Some of the wounded have been taken directly to the Prishtina hospital, while most of them remained in the Podujeva clinic for lack of ambulances.
