National Guard building on fire in Russian Far East

An unknown individual set a National Guard building on fire in Russia’s Komsomolsk-on-Amur in the Khabarovsk region, says Komcity News, a local media outlet.

A man entered the building’s hall, splashed a can of petroleum all over the place, set it afire and ran away. A brigade of firefighters extinguished the fire, and no people were harmed.

No less than 13 military enlistment offices have been attacked by arsonists in Russia since the start of the Ukraine War, including those in Cherepovets, Nizhnevartovsk, Balashikha and Shuya; two young men suspected of throwing Molotov cocktails at a conscription office in Nizhnevartovsk on 4 May were arrested earlier by a local court. Denis Serdiuk, 30, was accused of arson and sent to a pre-trial detention centre in Volgograd.
