The dubious portal "realiteti.net" has published an article titled "BREAKING NEWS: The mayor of Haraçina is injured, are there any casualties?"
The information presented in the title is also confirmed in the content of this article.
However, after verifying the facts by hibrid.info, it was found that the mayor of Haraçina, Ridvan Ibrahimi, was not injured during the assassination attempt, and it has not been confirmed that there were any deaths.
Link to the article published by the dubious portal "realiteti.net":
Part of the content of this article:
"Unidentified persons have so far fired Kalashnikovs at the mayor of Haracina, Ridvan Ibraimi, who is seriously injured and is currently in the Skopje Clinical Hospital. Sources from the field tell the newspaper KOHA that AA, the son of the mayor's driver, was killed, while two or three other people were injured.. "
This portal has also published the same article on its Facebook page (see here).
After researching using search engines, hibrid.info found the statement of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of North Macedonia, confirming the assassination attempt on the mayor of Haračina, Ridvan Ibrahimi, who is said to have suffered no injuries (see here).
While reports by some Albanian-language media confirm the injury of two people from this attack, it is also announced that there are no deaths as claimed in the above article (see here and here).
Analyze:
The allegations about the injury of Ridvan Ibrahim, the mayor of the municipality of Haracina, in North Macedonia, as well as about the deaths of people from this assassination attempt, are not accurate.
Hibrid.info has found that Mayor Ibrahimi was not injured in the incident and there were no victims, only injured.
