Extortion Threat Preceded Molotov Cocktail Attack on Obrenovac Family Home
Police are searching for two unidentified men who allegedly attacked a family home in Obrenovac before dawn, throwing two Molotov cocktails at the property. The incident occurred at around 5 a.m., while the occupants were still asleep, according to a report by Telegraf.rs.

The fire damaged the garage and part of the house, but no injuries were reported. A separate account placed the attack at approximately 5:30 a.m. on Prote Mateje Nenadovića Street and said the perpetrator or perpetrators remained unknown.

According to the initial police information, the attackers approached the property, ignited the devices and threw them toward the building before fleeing. Emergency services and investigators examined the scene after the flames were brought under control.

The homeowner reportedly told inspectors that he had received threatening messages and calls six days earlier from a number registered in the United States. The sender allegedly demanded that he “get the money ready,” raising the possibility that the attack was connected to an extortion attempt.

Investigators have taken surveillance-camera recordings from the house and are expected to analyze them in an effort to identify the two attackers. Police are also working to determine who was behind the earlier threats and whether that person directed the firebombing.

The available reports describe the same early-morning attack and property damage, but do not identify any suspects or establish a confirmed motive. The investigation remains ongoing.
