Fighters from the Corps of Operational and Surprise Actions (KORD) of the Main Directorate of the National Police detained a 50-year-old local resident who had barricaded himself in an apartment and threatened to use small arms and a combat grenade.

### Timeline of the confrontation

The incident began with the arrival of an investigative and operational group to conduct a sanctioned search. The basis was a criminal case regarding illegal handling of weapons and ammunition. The man refused to open the door despite the presentation of a court order. Specialists from the State Emergency Service (SES) were involved to breach the premises.

After the door was opened, the suspect declared his readiness to use an assault rifle and detonate a grenade. Due to the threat to the lives of residents of the multi-apartment building, a special police plan was activated. The leadership of the National Police and KORD special forces fighters arrived at the scene.

After hours of negotiations that yielded no results, the special forces conducted a raid on the premises. Around 20:00, the man was neutralized and detained without the use of lethal force. As a result of the operation, no civilians or law enforcement officers were injured.

Investigative actions continue at the scene. The seized weapons and ammunition have been sent for forensic ballistics and explosives technical expertise. The issue of selecting a preventive measure in the form of detention is being resolved.
