In Podolsk, an unidentified person directed a barrage of five fireworks toward the town hall, an incident first reported by a Telegram channel affiliated with Shot. The device set included one Roman candle and four Corsair-6 firecrackers, according to the same report. The assailant arrived at the city administration building, where the pyrotechnic devices were set off. The fireworks struck the honor board mounted inside the hall, and two photographs suffered damage as a result of the attack. After carrying out the act, the attacker fled the scene, leaving authorities to piece together what happened.
Shortly after the incident, law enforcement officers arrived at the administration building and began a formal search for evidence. Officers recovered spent and used pyrotechnics at the site and launched an investigation to identify the assailant and determine the individual’s current whereabouts. The case has drawn local attention and prompted discussions about security measures around municipal buildings and potential risks posed by weaponized display devices.
In a separate report from earlier, two young football players previously associated with Zelenograd organized an explosion in a residential building that involved placing Corsair-5 fireworks in a mailbox. Neighbors, frightened by the blast and the potential danger, alerted police units promptly. This related incident underscores ongoing concerns about the use of consumer-grade fireworks in residential areas and the need for heightened vigilance by residents and authorities to prevent harm and property damage.
Authorities are urging residents to remain calm and to report any suspicious activity. Investigators are examining security footage, canvassing the area for witnesses, and tracing the procurement chains for the fireworks used in both events. Officials emphasize that fireworks, even those marketed for recreational use, can cause serious injuries and structural damage when misused or discharged in crowded or urban environments. Community members are reminded to follow local laws regarding the possession and ignition of pyrotechnics and to cooperate with law enforcement as the inquiry continues.
