Slovakia's Prime Minister, Robert Fico, survived in an assassination attempt, leaving him critically injured. Indian PM Narendra Modi condemned the attack as cowardly and expressed solidarity with Slovakia. The incident occurred after a government meeting when a 71-year-old man shot Fico multiple times in Handlova. Fico underwent surgery and is no longer in life-threatening condition. Slovak Interior Minister Matus Sutaj Estok attributed the attack to post-election tensions, blaming social media hate. The assailant's actions were reportedly prompted by events following the presidential election. Fico's recovery is underway as Slovakia grapples with the aftermath of this shocking incident.
