In Syktyvkar, a local resident purchased a grenade and went to confront his housemates, threatening to blow up the property. He was arrested during the confrontation after authorities intervened. The incident was reported by a Telegram channel known as Shot.
According to contemporaneous reports, Ruslan Smirnov, a 31-year-old man from Syktyvkar, resides in a two-story wooden house on March 8 Street. He reportedly approached his neighbors, aggressively swearing in a drunken state, and warned that he would detonate the house with an F-1 grenade if the women living there did not comply with his demands.
Law enforcement officers arrived at the scene quickly, evacuated residents, and detained the assailant during the incident. The grenade was later determined to be a counterfeit device. A local observer stated that the object had been found in the forest.
Smirnov, 31, has prior convictions listed as illegal vehicle possession and two separate counts of violence against a law enforcement representative.
Earlier, there were mentions that Smirnov had roots in the Tver region and was involved in a plan to assemble an explosives and weapons cache after a tenants convention, though details remained unclear in early reporting. This account highlights the volatility of the situation and the rapid response by authorities to ensure public safety. [Source: local reporting outlet with attribution provided]
