There has been an explosion at the US embassy in Montenegro, officials say.
An attacker threw an explosive device into the compound in the capital Podgorica at around midnight (23:00 GMT), before killing himself, the government announced.
Local media have named a Serbian-born local resident as a suspect, but this is unconfirmed by authorities.
The government said the device thrown was likely a hand grenade. No other injuries have been reported.
The US embassy said all staff were safe following the incident.
