• WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

  Speaking to , who first released the video of the incident, Bara said: "It was not a bomb. And if it had been a bomb, as they say, half the house would probably have disappeared. My family and I are fine and there is no material damage except for the burnt grass where the firecracker fell.

  "It woke my wife, who came down to see what was happening, but not me or the children. If the dog had not been injured, we would not have called the police."

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Zagreb police have opened an investigation to trace the unknown entity who threw the explosives. A police officer was quoted saying: "The police left after the investigation on the scene. The security guard next to the house had not noticed anyone. Ten days ago, a similar device had been thrown at a neighbor's house."
