A citizen of Armenia killed in Russia

A 37-year-old Armenian citizen was killed and a Russian woman seriously injured after unidentified men in black uniforms and balaclavas stormed an apartment in Vsevolozhsk, near St. Petersburg, local media reported.

According to Fontanka and Moyka78, the attackers wore patches linked to the far-right “Russian Community” movement and claimed to be police officers.

During the incident, a fire broke out. A 24-year-old woman from Sochi reportedly jumped from a seventh-floor window to escape and suffered severe injuries, including spinal fractures, head trauma, and burns. Firefighters later discovered a man's body in one of the rooms.

The apartment owner said her son had called her on the evening of May 3, saying unknown men were trying to break in. When she arrived, the door had been forced open, and her son was sitting in soot and blood, surrounded by masked men. He later claimed that the intruders used gas and a stun gun on him and tried to break into another room where two others had barricaded themselves.

Police have identified several suspects and are considering opening a criminal case on multiple charges. The motive for the attack remains unclear.
