A significant presence of police, FSB officers, and fire crews was recorded there.

On the morning of December 24, two explosions were heard in the parking lot of military unit 19288 – the 80th Vitebsk Red Banner Brigade of Management in the city of Ussuriysk, Primorsky Krai, Russia.

This was reported to UNIAN by intelligence sources.

As the interlocutor noted, according to established Russian tradition, official enemy sources are in no hurry to detail the event. Instead, local media reports refer to an alleged “welding machine cotton.”

At the same time, eyewitnesses to the event are publishing photos and videos from the scene of the incident, which show a significant presence of police, FSB officers, and fire crews.

The local population is sincerely surprised why dozens of security forces, including representatives of the special services, were involved in eliminating the consequences of a technical malfunction of the welding machine. 

Sources recalled that the occupiers from the 80th Command Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces took an active part in the war against Ukraine. There are known facts of their committing war crimes and shooting civilians in the temporarily occupied territories, including children. 

“The Main Intelligence Directorate continues to hold festive events behind enemy lines and is making efforts to ensure that during these Christmas days as many Russian occupiers as possible become “good” and cold as the first winter snow,” the source emphasized.
