Three officers were injured as Kosovo police staged a major operation against organised crime suspects in the Serb-dominated north of the country, arresting 10 people, including local police officials.

Kosovo police launched raids in the early hours of Tuesday morning in the Serb-majority north of the divided town of Mitrovica, sparking an angry reaction from Serbia.

Ten people have been arrested so far, and the police action is ongoing, according to a BIRN reporter.

Among those arrested is the chief of police of the village of Zubin Potok, said Syle Hoxha, the prosecutor in the case.

A Kosovo police officer was wounded by a gunshot during the operation, but is not in danger of losing his life. Two other officers were also injured, according to doctors in North Mitrovica.
