The Main Directorate of the Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs reports a disturbing altercation in Anapa that led to a guest from Rostov-on-Don losing his job after clashing with another traveler at a local hotel. The incident was captured by police channels and described to reflect the tension that can arise among strangers in overnight hospitality settings. The case underscores how quickly a routine night can turn chaotic and how law enforcement responds to weapons confrontations in resort towns.
According to officers, the confrontation happened at the Moremi Hotel around one in the morning on June 10. The authorities say the quarrel involved a Rostov native born in 1985 and a Krasnodar resident born in 1996. The details of what sparked the dispute remain under investigation, but witnesses indicated the exchange escalated rapidly, culminating in a gun being drawn inside the hotel premises. The scene reportedly involved a traumatic pistol, and the Rostov-on-Don resident fired at his opponent, causing injuries that required urgent medical attention. Police described the specific injuries as the disassembly of part of the hand, including the severing of a finger phalanx and damage to another finger, while noting the gun was legally held by the shooter at the time of the incident. In subsequent updates, authorities confirmed the shooter was detained and the victim received medical aid on site and through hospital services.

Earlier in the year, variations of similar incidents occurred in other regions, illustrating a broader pattern of confrontation in crowded lodging environments. In the Leningrad region, a separate event involved a 54-year-old man accused of firing at a police officer at a Neva mini hotel in Kirovsk on the night of November 23, 2022. Reportedly, the senior interior ministry inspector, age 47, was standing nearby during a dispute with another guest when an opponent drew a weapon and began shooting. The attacker is said to have previously struck an officer in the head and later injured the hand and back. Those details reflect ongoing concerns about the presence of firearms in hospitality venues and the steps authorities take to investigate, detain suspects, and ensure medical care for victims.
