Slovak Police Detain 14 Suspects and Seize Nearly Five Tonnes of Hard Drugs in Operation Urus

Slovak police detained 14 people and seized nearly five tonnes of hard drugs in a major anti-narcotics operation codenamed Urus. The operation represents one of the largest drug busts in recent Slovak law enforcement history, targeting what authorities describe as a significant narcotics trafficking network. Slovakia, situated at the crossroads of central Europe, has long been a transit country for drug smuggling routes connecting Western and Eastern Europe, making large-scale interdiction operations a key priority for national law enforcement agencies.
