At least three explosions shook the center of Pristina late Saturday, and one targeted the U.N. mission headquarters. An <i>AP</i> reporter saw at least three U.N. vehicles set ablaze in the parking lot of the U.N. mission headquarters.

 

There were no immediate reports of any injuries after at least two near-simultaneous blasts, said Hua Jiang, chief U.N. spokeswoman.

 

The second blast happened near the building of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, located some 100 yards down the road from the U.N. compound.

 

The third blast went off near the Kosovo government building which also houses the province's parliament, said Jiang.
