Following that incident, fighting broke out in Mitrovica amid news that three Albanian children had drowned after allegedly being forced by Serbs to jump into the Ibar River, in what was believed to be a revenge attack.
Posle ovog incidenta izbili su sukobi u Mitrovici kada je došla vest da se troje albanske dece utopilo nakon što su ih navodno Srbi primorali da skoče u reku Ibar, što je, kako se verovalo, bio osvetnički potez.
