In a disturbing incident, a group of intoxicated Russian soldiers forcibly entered a local cafe in the occupied Crimea region, unleashing a shooting spree.

Appalling footage captures these mercenary troops instilling terror among locals, firing shots into the air and dangerously close to people’s heads.

They also resorted to wielding batons, beating men and women within the confines of the Fortress Cafe.

While the violent episode resulted in multiple injuries, fortunately, there were no reported fatalities.

Victims endured broken bones inflicted by the unruly military mob, who brandished Kalashnikovs after reveling in the celebration of Russia’s Defender of the Fatherland Day, also known as Men’s Day.

The incident unfolded in the beach village of Chornomorske in the northern part of occupied Crimea.

Surveillance camera footage, disseminated by the girlfriend of a hospitalized victim in a “serious” condition, revealed the disturbing nature of the attack, the Daily Express reported.

The group responsible is ultimately under the control of Putin’s defense ministry through the Redut private army, affiliated with the 45th Special Forces Brigade of Putin’s Airborne Forces, and the SVR foreign intelligence agency.

While some reports suggest a criminal case has been initiated against the military perpetrators, others insist that the instigators of the rampage may face informal justice within their military unit.

Images depicting beaten individuals, including one with a severely bloodied face, underscore the severity of the situation, with reports indicating that a specific perpetrator faced significant repercussions at the unit level, as reported by Radio Svoboda.
