Law enforcement agencies in the Krasnodar Territory detained several participants in a mass confrontation that occurred in the urban village of Afipsky. This information was confirmed by the official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Irina Volk.
In the wake of the incident, officials from the department brought a total of 54 individuals in for questioning as part of the ongoing investigation. The police noted that twelve people were placed under administrative detention for refusing to comply with a lawful order issued by officers at the scene.
According to authorities, these twelve individuals have since received court sentences ranging from two to seven days of administrative detention. The arrests and detentions were carried out as part of standard procedures to restore public order and ensure the safety of residents in Afipsky and the surrounding area.
Officials emphasized that no injuries were reported as a result of the fight. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is actively taking steps to clarify all circumstances surrounding the incident, including gathering witness statements, reviewing surveillance footage, and coordinating with local authorities.
The clash occurred on September 7. Local residents describe a gathering that grew beyond control, with eyewitnesses reporting that more than a hundred people may have been involved. It is said that the violence was triggered the day before by an assault on a young man and a girl, which prompted additional groups to become involved and escalate the confrontation.
Following the events, a criminal case has been opened under the hooliganism statute. Law enforcement agencies are continuing their investigation to determine the sequence of events and identify all involved parties.
Earlier reports mentioned a separate incident in Tyumen park involving a confrontation between men that escalated into a significantly armed melee, underscoring a broader pattern of public disturbances that authorities are addressing across different regions.
