A suspected explosive blast occurred overnight in the village of Zallë of Fushë-Krujë, at the home of 49-year-old Ylli Zalla. According to the police’s preliminary version, the explosion caused material damage, while his vehicle, parked near the house, caught fire and was completely burned.
Police speak of explosive material placed on the door
According to the official statement from Krujë Police, a quantity of explosive material is suspected to have been placed on the door of the home of the citizen with initials Y. Z., and then detonated.
Authorities said the incident caused material damage to the home, while the vehicle owned by the 49-year-old caught fire and burned near the building.
Name linked for months to a weapons case
Ylli Zalla has for months been listed as a wanted person in a case linked to the discovery of a weapons arsenal. In a previous operation to capture him, police said they also found homemade bombs in his home.
According to the same version, this is the second time ammunition has been found at his house, making the incident even more sensitive for investigators.
Refusal to surrender and previous precedents

So far, there is no official information on suspected perpetrators or the possible motive for placing the explosive material.
The incident in Zallë of Fushë-Krujë comes in a context burdened with suspicions involving weapons, ammunition and a wanted person, while the full version of what happened has yet to be proven by the investigation.
