April 5 (UPI) -- Explosives were found in a border area between Hungary and Serbia near a pipeline that carries Russian gas, and which both depend heavily on.
Serbian president Aleksander Vucic said Sunday that the explosives were found in backpacks "a few hundred miles from the gas pipeline," and that he'd alerted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban that an investigation was being mounted, CNN and The BBC reported.
"Our units found an explosive of devastating power," Vucic said on Instagram. "I told PM Orban that we would keep him updated on the investigation.
Experts have suggested that a false flag, or staged, operation could be conducted in one of the two countries to help Orban in his re-election campaign, which has seen support for his 16-year rule in Hungary sagging.
