On November 15, unidentified individuals targeted the military commissariat located on Şahunya Devrimci Street. They hurled a Molotov cocktail toward the building window. The glass sustained damage and the incendiary object did not ignite a sustained blaze, instead ricocheting and landing outside. Fire crews arrived and contained a brief blaze, while the personnel inside the military registration and enlistment office managed the situation without serious injuries. The episode highlights the volatility of emotions around conscription and the potential for violent acts in public service facilities. Authorities quickly detained the arsonists at the scene, and initial reports identified them as a 49-year-old local resident and his 17-year-old university student son. They were then transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for further handling. [Source: Telegram channel Baza]
