Activists report an attack on headquarters of Putin's Detachments in Krasnodar

Marat Dinaev, the head of the "Putin's Detachments", was taken to hospital with injuries after an attack on the organization's headquarters in Krasnodar, reported activist Alexander Saveliev.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that in May, Marat Dinaev, the chairman of the "Social Justice" Foundation and the movement "Putin's Detachments", announced attempts of the local authorities to close the Foundation. On June 1, Marat Dinaev published a video message in which he announced the dissolution of the "Putin's Detachments".

Today, unidentified persons have attacked the headquarters of the "Putin's Detachments" and opened fire on the people inside the office, the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent has been informed by activist Alexander Saveliev.

According to him, during the attack, Marat Dinaev himself, his daughter, and activist Vlad Bobka, a member of the organization, stayed in the office.

"There is a lot of blood on the floor in the office. The police arrived and collected the shells," activist Alexander Saveliev has noted.

Today, the video record titled "Wounds for Putin" has been posted on the "Soc Sprav" page on YouTube. In the video, a man demonstrates his bloodied legs with bullet holes. A voice over says: "Here are the wounds for Putin," and another voice asks the man to turn around. The "Caucasian Knot" does not have any evidence of the authenticity of the video record and does not have any information who appears in it.
