A group of civilians attacked Territorial Recruitment Center (TCC) military personnel in the Kyivskyi district of Odesa, using physical force and tear gas, the officers reported on Feb. 15.
The incident took place during a standard document check and escorting of a military registration violator.
"The notification group was subjected to aggressive physical pressure," the statement read.
"Instead of complying with lawful demands, the crowd resorted to mass obstruction of state activities on mobilization preparation."
Injuries & Damages
Casualties: The officers sustained bodily injuries of varying severity and chemical burns to their corneas. They have been hospitalized.
Property: The attackers damaged the TCC service vehicle and video recording equipment.
Odesa Oblast TCC leadership announced it is filing a petition to hold the participants of the incident criminally liable.
