Bulgaria: Police Detains Three People in Anti-Drug Operation in Bulgaria's Veliko Tarnovo

Three people were detained in an anti-drug operation held by the police in the Bulgarian city of Veliko Tarnovo on Friday night.

According to media reports, a shooting took place at the time of the operation, with local residents claiming they had heard a series of shots.

The interior ministry denies there was any shooting, saying that the operation targeted Aydan Yuseinov, known to the police for his criminal activities.

According to the suggestions, the shooting was between Yuseinov and the police.

The operation was conducted by the combating organised crime directorate in the area of the hospital.

Yuseinov was injured in a shootout with other criminals in Veliko Tarnovo last month.
