Cosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti accused neighbor and rival Serbia behind the explosion that damaged a canal supplying water to Kosovo's two main coal-fired power plants on Friday, what he called a "terrorist act."
"This is a criminal and terrorist attack aimed at damaging our critical infrastructure", Kurti said in a press conference.
"The attack was carried out by professionals. We believe it comes from gangs directed by Serbia," Kurti said, without giving more details.
Serbian officials are yet to publicly comment on the allegations.
What do we know about the blast?
The explosion occurred in Kosovo's troubled northern region near the town of Zubin Potok. It damaged a canal that supplies water to the cooling systems at two power plants.
These plants generate most of Kosovo's electricity.
The Prime Minister said if the damage was not repaired, part of Kosovo would be without electricity by Saturday morning.
