Robert Fico, the Slovak prime minister, was shot in an assassination attempt after meeting supporters in Handlova. This city is located 112 miles away from Bratislava. The assassin failed to reach Fico’s venue. He was part of a crowd gathered around the speaker. The video of the attempted assassination shows Fico was hit in the abdomen by five bullets. He was airlifted by helicopter to a Bratislava hospital, but there are no official reports on his condition.
Here is a video of the attempted assassination:

Fico has been a mainstay in the Slovak political scene for many years. He was prime minister twice (2006-2010, and 2012-2018). Most recently, he was elected in 2023. Fico is the leader of the Smer left-populist party. The party won the 2023 elections based on a platform that included a cessation of aid to Ukraine, and closer ties with Russia.
