A scandal erupted in Petropavlivska Borșciaghivka, Ukraine, over allegations of illegal detention and abuse of men by National Guard soldiers. Local residents protested, demanding explanations as reports surfaced about around 40 individuals allegedly tortured in a basement. The National Guard stated the building was a temporary deployment point for mobilized soldiers and those returning without permission. Four soldiers were hospitalized, and while torture claims were denied, an investigation was promised. Police intervened after ambulance workers reported blocked access to a patient. Protests escalated into clashes with law enforcement, leading to the use of tear gas and warning shots.
