Armed people with Russian phages, in military camouflage, began storming the military registration and enlistment office at about 19:30 p.m., reports the Vostochny Option publication. Molotov cocktails were flying into the area. Many people in camouflage entered the territory of the unit, an explosion and gunfire were heard, clearly from firearms; apparently, both attackers and defenders were shooting, eyewitnesses say.
Explosions of stun grenades were heard and seen, and passers-by said that there was a sniper on the roof of one of the buildings.
As of 20:08, the situation had calmed down and the shots had ceased. There are suggestions that those storming the building are trying to persuade the military to surrender.
According to one version, activists stormed the military registration and enlistment office because they had information that representatives of the Right Sector were there. According to local journalists, there were conscript soldiers at the military registration and enlistment office.
In addition, it is reported that two activists of the “Public Sector” were detained.
As Navigator reported, the “people’s governor” of the Luhansk region Valery Bolotov said that by 18:00 all security forces in the region must take an oath to the people of the Lugansk region.” Those who do not do this will be “declared traitors and enemies of the people of the Luhansk region.”
