The water of the river Bosna is being analysed in the city of Zenica after locals woke up to a disturbing sight on Tuesday morning - the river turned “red like blood”.

Local Safet Kubat took water samples and reported the situation to the inspection authorities in Bosnia’s Federation (FBiH) entity.

Službenici Policijske uprave 1, zajedno s federalnim te kantonlanim vodnim inspektorom Zeničko-dobojskog kantona, okončali su uviđaj te uzeli uzorke vode iz rijeke Bosne koja je nizvodno od mjesta Banlozi kod Zenice danas promijenila boju u crveno – potvrdio je portparol Uprave policije Ministarstva unutrašnjih poslova ZDK Elvedin Fišek.

According to Zenica police, officials have also taken samples of the water and are investigating a suspected case of environmental pollution.
