Molotov cocktail ignited: attack on military commissariat in Siberia

It is not the first time: in Russia, unknown persons are apparently attacking a district military replacement office again. Parts of the building go up in flames, two floors and the roof are damaged.

According to media reports, there was another attack on a district military replacement office in Russia. "In Bratsk, an unknown person used a Molotov cocktail to set fire to a military commissariat, damaging two floors," Lenta.ru said.

Bratsk is a large city in Siberia. The fire happened at night. Firefighters were able to extinguish the flames before they spread to the entire building. The fire area is 50 square meters, the extent of the property damage is not yet known. The police are looking for the perpetrator, who is said to have recorded a surveillance camera.

Since the beginning of the war of aggression against Ukraine ordered by Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin at the end of February, there have been a series of attacks against military objects in Russia. In particular, district military replacement offices, which are responsible for mobilizing the Russians for the war, have repeatedly been the target of attacks. Dozens of arson attacks have been officially registered since February. Hundreds of thousands of Russians have fled abroad fearing mobilization.
