Adnana Sprecic, spokeswoman for the Tuzla Canton police, said that at around 7:55 this morning, the Operations Center was informed that an explosive device had been activated in a house in the Moluhe neighborhood in Tuzla.

Another person was injured and transported to the University Clinical Center in Tuzla.
