In Volyn, a document check led to the shooting and hospitalization of a military man

In Volyn, an incident occurred related to the verification of military registration documents, when two men fled into an abandoned house and attacked service members. One of the attackers took a pistol from a representative of the CCC and fired at the service members.

On September 4, 2025, in the Lutsk district, during a joint police check, four men were found to have suspicious documents. When the military and police tried to check their data, two men tried to escape into an abandoned three-story building.

When the group went inside, the violators refused to present their documents and resisted, as a result of which one of the service members was injured. One of the service members tried to fire a warning shot from a traumatic pistol, but the attacker knocked the weapon out of his hands. Then the latter raised the gun and opened fire.

To neutralize the threat, the military used tear gas. As a result, one of the soldiers was injured – possibly a broken arm – and was provided with the necessary medical assistance.

An investigative and operational group arrived at the scene to establish the circumstances of the incident, and all participants were taken to the police for further investigation.
