Shooting near the Military Enlistment Center: Not the First Incident

Shooting incidents near the Military Enlistment Center in Ukraine are not new. For example, in May, the police conducted an investigation due to a conflict involving employees of the Military Enlistment Center and local residents in Transcarpathia. The enlistment office staff even had to fire shots into the air.

Furthermore, in October, a staff member of the Military Enlistment Center in Zaporizhzhia fired a shot into the air. This occurred due to a conflict with a local resident, as the man did not have military documents and caused a disturbance.

It is worth noting that in September, employees of the Military Enlistment Center were allowed to shoot to kill.
