Three residents of Volgograd apologized for publishing the aftermath of drone attacks on the Wildberries warehouse.
Law enforcement detained two girls and one young man in Volgograd for posting photos and videos of the fire at the Wildberries warehouse; the detainees apologized on record.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", as a result of a drone attack on the night of July 30 to 31, an apartment building and a private residence in Volgograd were damaged. Fires were recorded at an industrial enterprise of the fuel and energy complex. During the debris removal after the drone attack at the site of a residential building in the Krasnoarmeysky district of Volgograd, the body of a woman was found. Eight injured individuals were hospitalized. The company Wildberries confirmed the attack on its warehouse in Volgograd.
In the regions of the Southern Federal District and the North Caucasian Federal District, including Volgograd region, filming of drone attacks and their consequences is prohibited. These prohibitions contradict the Constitution, which guarantees the inadmissibility of censorship and the freedom to seek, record, and disseminate information, lawyers pointed out.
Three residents of Volgograd were detained for publishing photos and videos of the attacked Wildberries warehouse.
Videos of their apologies were published by the V1.ru publication. Judging by the publications, two girls and one young man were detained. One of the girls told the law enforcement on camera that she posted a photo of the fire in a neighborhood chat in response to a neighbor's question.
"I didn't know there could be consequences after what seemed like an innocent photo. I studied the information, and the officers also explained it to me. I strongly recommend that no one do this, because it can be used against us, against our country, and against our security," she stated in the video, which was said to be sourced from operational footage.
The second girl sent a photo of the aftermath of the attack to a Volgograd chat, "to make sure it wasn't an attack, but some huge rain cloud."
"Later, my photo ended up on Ukrainian Telegram channels. I realized that it could be used against our country, and that it poses a threat to our security. I am very ashamed of what I did and I strongly do not recommend doing this," she said.
The young man was detained due to a video of the warehouse. "Last night I filmed a video of the attack on the Wildberries warehouse. When I was filming this video, I didn't think that there would be any responsibility for it. I had heard about it, but I didn't take it seriously. I now realize that I made a mistake, and that my video could have somehow helped the enemy side in correcting further strikes. I accept my mistake and want my situation to serve as an example for other people, so that no one does this again," he stated in the recording.
The faces of all the detainees who apologized have been blurred.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", at least three people were detained after their recordings of the missile attack on Volgograd were posted online. In a conversation with law enforcement, which was published by local media, the detainees apologized.
