A report from Mash on the Moika describes an incident in Saint Petersburg where a man damaged the window of a city bus. The event unfolded after the driver declined to open the doors, leaving the passenger stranded at the stop. In response, the passenger began to move away from the vehicle, and the situation escalated as the bus lingered in a heavy traffic jam along the Ring Road. The driver immediately contacted authorities and filed an official statement, and investigators are currently seeking to locate the disruptive individual who caused the damage.
Earlier, a separate event involved a traffic police officer detaining a man who was found with a grenade in Bashkiria. A suspicious individual was observed near the building of the military registration and enlistment office. The officer intervened, drawing his service weapon and instructing the man to reveal his belongings. Police later identified a training and simulation explosive device, specifically an RGD-5, along with 15 noise cartridges and a signal gun concealed on the person. It was noted that the suspect had a prior conviction for resisting police and had been treated in a psychiatric facility, contributing to the complexity of the case.
