In Tyumen, a man who had been drinking alerted the police after he could not enter his apartment and warned that he would blow up the building. The report emerged as the incident unfolded in the city. The resident had bought beer, gin and tonic, and vodka and drank them near the building entrance before deciding to return home. He noticed his brother sleeping on the landing of his floor; neither of them had keys. With a sudden impulse, the defendant began knocking on the door, but no one answered.
Afterward, the Tyumen resident took his relative’s phone and dialed the emergency number. He declared his plan to blow up a residential structure and then laid down to sleep beside his brother at the entrance, leaving the situation unresolved for the moment.
Meanwhile, the investigative team arrived at the scene. Experts searched the area but found no traces of explosives in the building. Based on a false claim about a terrorist attack, the authorities detained the man on grounds of making a false report.
The suspect admitted that the threat had been a fabrication and appeared at the dock. He received a sentence of one year under house restrictions, prohibiting him from leaving his home from 22:00 to 06:00, forbidding attendance at public events, and restricting travel outside the city and the Tyumen region.
An earlier, separate incident had involved an unknown individual wrapped in wires who threatened to cause an explosion at a gas station in the Stavropol Territory, adding a note of caution to the broader security landscape of the region.
