An unidentified person allegedly placed a curse by moving stones on behalf of Sukko village, reportedly laid on a mountainside. The claim was sent to the telegraph channel of the Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city of Anapa. The ministry says the information about the incident appeared on social networks, prompting Anapa police to open an investigation and prepare a procedural decision.
Earlier reports suggested that unknown individuals were in Moscow at the time, connected to arson that targeted the balcony of Alexei Mishurov, a former inspector with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation who had previously investigated the accident involving actor Mikhail Efremov.
There were also reports of a younger man in Novocherkassk involved in a car theft that occurred when his 35-year-old friend had left him overnight.
In Kaliningrad, police detained a 42-year-old local woman in July after she threatened passers-by with a flare in a public area.
Earlier, it was reported that a Pony carriage had been stolen in Krasnoyarsk by unknown persons.
At the core of these distributed notices lies a pattern of sporadic incidents that authorities say involve a mix of mischief, senseless cruelty, and possibly opportunistic crime. Across several Russian cities, law enforcement agencies have prioritized quick fact-checking and verified reporting to prevent the spread of rumors online. The Anapa investigative channel noted that officials are coordinating with social media platforms to identify the origins of the posts and assess any potential threats tied to the reported actions. The public is urged to rely on official statements rather than unverified social media posts to understand the true progression of events.
