Authorities are investigating after a body was discovered in a forest in the Záhorie region. The discovery was made earlier this week, and local law enforcement are currently on the scene.
While details are still emerging, preliminary reports indicate that an examining doctor has ruled out any foreign involvement in the death. This suggests that the incident is being treated as either a local crime or a natural death. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are expected to release more information as it becomes available.
Investigation Underway
The location of the discovery is near Borinka, a village in the Záhorie region. An image obtained from the scene shows a police car present in the area. The presence of law enforcement indicates that the case is being taken seriously, and a thorough investigation is being conducted to determine the cause of death.
“We are working diligently to uncover the circumstances surrounding this unfortunate event,” a local police spokesperson stated. "Our priority is to identify the deceased and bring closure to their family."
Recent Incident Involving Military Equipment
This incident follows a recent event involving a howitzer in the same region. During a load test, the howitzer caught fire, prompting a separate police investigation for general endangerment. While the two incidents are not officially linked, the increased police presence in Záhorie has raised concerns among local residents.
Defense Minister Robert Kaliňák explained that the howitzer test involved using a stronger charge to assess the equipment's resilience. An expert also noted the possibility of static energy release contributing to the fire.
Authorities are urging anyone with information related to either incident to come forward and assist with the investigations. The police are committed to ensuring the safety and security of the Záhorie region.
