BREAKING: A gunman appears to have opened fire at a conscription office in Russia amid soaring tensions over Vladimir Putin’s mobilisation.
He critically wounded a recruitment officer at the enlistment centre in Siberia today, the local governor confirmed.
The incident occurred in the town of Ust-Ilimsk in Irkutsk, a vast and sparsely populated region as Russians across the country voiced their disapproval at being conscripted and fled across borders. Governor Igor Kobzev said in a message on Telegram: ‘In Ust-Ilimsk, a young man fired at the military registration and enlistment office.’A video published on social media shows a man identifying himself to police officers as 25-year-old Ruslan Zinin. A separate video of the shooting shows him firing at least one shot inside the draft office and people fleeing for their lives.
