A Crimean man was detained after an attack on his former wife, an incident documented by regional investigative authorities. The event unfolded in Zhuravki, where the couple continued to live under the same roof even after their divorce. Authorities report that the 61-year-old man drew a firearm and fired at his former spouse as she slept, striking her in the back before she could react.
The woman managed to escape the danger, taking refuge in her daughter’s room while police and medical personnel arrived at the scene. She awaited treatment and support as investigators worked to secure the area and gather evidence about the attack.
Officials stated that the man faced charges tied to a particularly serious crime and that a preventive measure for detention was sought. The case has drawn attention to the volatility that can accompany intimate relationship breakdowns and the lasting impact on those involved.
Observers note that jealousy may have played a role. The suspect reportedly believed his ex-wife had begun a relationship with another man, a motive that, while unproven, is now part of the narrative around the incident. Insights from local sources suggest the tension could be linked to rumors about the woman’s romantic life and potential pregnancy, which the public channel Mash on the Wave highlighted in its coverage.

In a separate note, there are reports of a prior incident linked to the same area where a man who attended a wedding in Karachay-Cerckessia reportedly fired a shot in another context, though details remain unclear and are under investigation by authorities. These reports underscore ongoing concerns about violence and safety in regional communities. [Citation: Mash on the Wave Telegram channel]
