A teenage assailant stormed a police station in northwest Bosnia, killing one officer and injuring another in what officials have condemned as an act of terrorism. The shocking incident occurred around 9 pm in Bosanska Krupa, raising concerns about societal issues and prompting heightened security measures.

The attacker's actions, described as 'totally unprovoked' by police, took place within the local police station by the suspect born in 2009. Currently, prosecutors are investigating the motive, suspecting it to be a bid to intimidate the local population and possibly tied to extremist influences.

Chief Prosecutor Merima Mesanovic highlighted the need to understand the underlying causes of such an event and to check for any backing from extreme groups. As a minor, details about the suspect remain confidential, while local law enforcement urges society to reflect on this alarming situation.
