Media: Kerch resident angered by Russian anti-terrorist exercises
Kerch media published a video with the commentary by a perturbed local resident, who claimed to be a victim of the anti-terrorist exercises of Russian special services.
Accorting to Kerch.com.ru website, in one of the recreational areas in Kerch on Kirov Street, near the Cherepashka beach, Russian intelligence officers with machine guns carried out military exercises on the 22nd of April. Civilians who passed by, people of different ages, including children, the elderly and anyone who happened to be in the area of the exercise, were forced to the ground, face down, without any warning or reason. Some were handcuffed. Journalists were forbidden to photograph the operation.
A 65-year-old Kerch resident complained to reporters that she had recently broken a hand and just had her cast removed. She said this to the people in green uniforms with machine guns who grabbed her, but they appeared to ignore her pleas.
There is no confirmation of this information from other sources yet. No official explanation from the Russian security forces or Kerch authorities about the incident has been released.
