In the Bryansk region, authorities reported that power bloc organizations were placed on elevated readiness. This update came from the region’s governor, Alexander Bogomaz, as cited by TASS, signaling a coordinated response to evolving security concerns.
Bogomaz noted that a meeting of the operation headquarters had taken place within the region, underscoring the seriousness of the situation and the need for centralized planning across security and administrative units.
“Today, all the organizations aligned with the ruling bloc are on high alert,” the governor stated, emphasizing a comprehensive posture designed to deter potential threats and maintain public order amid ongoing developments.
Earlier in the day, the Bryansk regional administration reported that the overall security climate remained stable, while officials escalated protective measures in critical infrastructure and key facilities to prevent disruption.
In the early hours of June 24, reports indicated that Wagner PMC units had entered Rostov-on-Don, with photographs showing military hardware and fighters patrolling urban streets, as published by TASS. In a broader address to the nation, President Vladimir Putin described the action as a “backstabbing” attempt at rebellion and reiterated the government’s stance on safeguarding national unity, warning that treason would be met with consequences.
Representatives tied to Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner group, asserted that videos and claims alleging an assault by the Russian Defense Ministry on Wagner rear camps were not accurate and amounted to a propaganda tactic intended to mislead the public.
Following Prigozhin’s remarks, the National Counter-Terrorism Committee announced it had submitted a formal case on grounds of incitement to military rebellion, signaling the start of a legal process to address alleged threats to national security and public safety.
