Explosion in Fushë Kruja prison, Prison Directorate reacts: The area does

The General Directorate of Prisons has reacted after the explosion in the outer perimeter of the Fushë Krujë prison.

According to the directorate, the explosion occurred in an area that does not affect or endanger the safety or lives within the inner perimeter of convicts and detainees.

"At around 9:00 PM yesterday evening, an explosion was heard inside the perimeter of the Fushë-Krujë Prison. Immediately after the event, the relevant structures were notified: the State Police, the Internal Prison Control Service and the Prosecutor's Office.

Preliminary verifications at the scene have revealed a hole in the ground near the area where the generator is located, raising suspicions that the explosion may have been caused by a suspected amount of explosive material. No one was injured and no material damage was caused by the explosion.

Investigative teams are still on the ground and are working to fully clarify the circumstances of the incident, as well as to identify the possible perpetrators.

From the information so far, it appears that the explosive material was thrown in the outer perimeter area, near the main road. This area does not affect or endanger the safety or lives of the convicts and detainees within the inner perimeter.

Security footage has been administered and taken as evidence by the investigation team. Footage from security cameras on surrounding streets is also being collected to help identify the perpetrators.

"The General Directorate of Prisons guarantees security within the regime inhabited by detainees and convicts," the announcement states.
