The information portal with content in the Albanian language "Kosova-sot.info" has published an article titled "Police seize 11 tons of cocaine".
After verifying the facts, hibrid.info has confirmed that the title of this article is generalizing, as it does not clarify which country's police are in question.
The news is clarified in the content, which states that "Spanish police seized 11 tons of cocaine and arrested 20 people, including Albanian citizens, who belong to two criminal drug trafficking organizations."
Since this information portal is registered in Kosovo (see here) and most of its readers are Albanian speakers (see here), the title in question leaves room for misinformation among readers, making them understand that it is about an action carried out by the Kosovo Police.

Analyze:
The information portal "Kosova-sot.info" has published an article regarding the seizure of 11 tons of cocaine by Spanish police, but the title does not clarify which police officer is in question.
This online medium is a portal that operates in Kosovo and based on the followers of the Facebook page, the largest number of readers are from Kosovo. Therefore, not providing information about the location of the incident can very easily misinform readers, making them think that the news is about some action by the Kosovo Police.
