Russians rise up — over 20 military commissariats targeted with Molotov cocktails in wild 24 hours

At least 20 military commissariats in Russia were targeted with attempts to set them on fire in a wild series of events over the last 24 hours, the Russian Telegram channel Mash reported on Aug. 2.

In one incident, a 62-year-old pensioner was discovered as one of the arsonists at a military commissariat in Moscow. She declined to provide testimony, leading to the initiation of a criminal case for hooliganism involving the use of objects as a weapon. If convicted, she could face up to seven years in prison.

Another pensioner, aged 69, was caught attempting to set fire to a different Moscow military commissariat. Law enforcement found five bottles of flammable liquid in his possession. Like the previous case, the suspect also refused to cooperate with the investigation.

In Kazan, a 31-year-old woman threw two Molotov cocktails at a service UAZ vehicle parked near a military commissariat.

In yet another incident, an 18-year-old saleswoman from a children’s store in Ufa attempted to set fire to a military commissariat in Ishimbay. She poured flammable liquid onto the porch, ignited it, and promptly fled the scene.
