In the late hours of July 20, a shooting incident unfolded at a police station located in Armenia’s Kotayk region. A foreign national walked into the station and opened fire, creating an alarming scene that drew immediate attention from law enforcement and local observers alike. The confrontation left a police officer and the assailant injured, with estimates placing the attacker in the 45 to 50-year-old range. Emergency responders arrived swiftly, providing medical care at the scene and summoning an ambulance to transfer both the officer and the shooter to a hospital for treatment.

Investigators with the Investigative Committee of the Republic of Armenia have since opened a criminal case tied to the incident. At this stage, officials confirm that the person responsible for the attack is a citizen of another country. Details about the suspect’s identity, background, or motive have not yet been disclosed as the inquiry proceeds.

As this investigation unfolds, authorities have not released further specifics about the incident. The lack of additional information has led to a cautious approach, with officials emphasizing that more facts will be provided as the case develops and remains under review by the relevant agencies.

Across the region and beyond, new reports began to surface around the same period indicating additional disturbances. In Kharkov, Ukraine, there was an appearance of an unknown individual who began firing at bystanders on a public thoroughfare along Landau Boulevard. The perpetrator discharged multiple rounds using what appeared to be an automatic weapon, prompting rapid emergency responses and a heightened sense of concern for public safety in the area.

Earlier, on July 19, a separate incident occurred in the coastal city of Odessa, where a police officer reported a violent outbreak amid a conflict with pedestrians near the Privoz market. The event drew attention to ongoing tensions and underscored the vulnerability of public spaces to sudden violent eruptions, prompting investigations and heightened patrols by local authorities.

Additionally, reports originated from Russia indicating a shooting at a residence garden where a person used four different firearms. While the specifics of that event were not immediately clarified, the episode contributed to a broader picture of gun-related incidents being monitored across the region during this period.
