Russian journalist Mikhail Zvinchuk, known as "Rybar," has been detained by Montenegrin security services.

The operation took place on October 9 in Risan with the participation of police and the National Security Agency. Among those detained are Zvinchuk's wife and three of his associates. Local media outlets link the case to suspicions of "hybrid activity" within the network.

The UK and US previously accused "Rybar" of spreading Russian propaganda and conducting information operations.
