This was reported by the Main Department of the National Police in the Odesa region.

Details of the Case

The suspect attempted to set fire to the building of one of the district territorial recruitment and social support centers in Izmail by throwing a homemade device with flammable liquid into it.

We recall that recently we wrote about a feast that ended in a stabbing. And also about a resident of the Odesa region who stabbed a pensioner due to a domestic conflict.
