Police shot and killed an aggressive bear at a dacha in Krasnoyarsk.
[Regnum] Police shot and killed an aggressive bear at a dacha in Krasnoyarsk. The regional Ministry of Internal Affairs reported this on October 2.
A local resident reported an adult bear to law enforcement. She said the animal was wandering around the property in the Royev Ruchey gardening community and was breaking an apple tree. Police and National Guard officers later arrived at the scene.
"Arriving officers discovered a bear behaving aggressively and moving toward the officers. Due to the real threat to the lives and health of the officers... the decision was made to use force. The bear was neutralized," the department said in a statement.
There were no casualties.
On August 31, a bear attacked two hunters in Kamchatka Krai. The incident occurred near the village of Khatyrka on the Kamchatka-Chukotka border. An air ambulance evacuated the victims from the Anastasia Bay area and transported them to a local hospital.
Previously, biologist and zoologist Alexander Lipkovich warned in an interview with Regnum News Agency that the current generation of bears is more aggressive than previous ones. Due to population growth, the bear, a naturally solitary species, encounters its fellow bears more frequently. This keeps the predator constantly on edge—angry and nervous.
The incident occurred while six people were descending Mount Uvan in Zyuratkul National Park in the Chelyabinsk region. The animal was approximately 150 meters away from the group, prompting the group to climb a cliff of large rocks and begin singing loudly to keep the animal from getting any closer.
Meanwhile, the citizens contacted the rescue service, who relayed the information to national park staff. Three Zyuratkul rangers were dispatched to assist. That night, the specialists persuaded the tourists to descend, after which they were all safely escorted to the "At Three Peaks" cordon, REN TV reported
"A bear was seen on the school grounds. Children at Radishchevskaya Secondary School have been switched to distance learning," an administration representative told RIA Novosti.
He noted that hunters are currently searching for the predator. While the danger remains, children will continue to study remotely.
This isn't the first time a bear has visited a school in the Irkutsk region. On September 30, a bear attempted to break into the school cafeteria in the village of Zalog. Judging by the destruction left behind, it appeared to have attempted to enter the building through a window.
On October 1, regional governor Igor Kobzev reported that 342 aggressive bears had been killed in the Irkutsk region. According to the governor, 142 groups of game managers, rangers, and experienced hunters have been formed in the region. Every day, 12-15 bears are killed in the region, which is almost five times more than last year.

[Regnum] The name of the town of Oleshky in the liberated part of the Kherson region has unexpectedly gone viral in the Russian-language segment of global social media over the past two weeks, primarily on TikTok, a popular teen video sharing platform, Instagram, and the messaging platform Threads.
At first glance, it appears that bloggers (including teenagers who have never previously created "content" related to the SVO or political topics) are trying to draw attention to the plight of residents of the city near the line of contact.
From Oleshky to Kherson, occupied by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, it's about 9 kilometers as the crow flies across the Dnipro River. Artillery and drone attacks continue here. Enemy strikes prevent a full evacuation of the remaining civilian population. The Ukrainian Armed Forces view unarmed people and civilian vehicles leaving the city as "legitimate targets." For the same reason, the delivery of humanitarian aid and food is extremely difficult.
But the text that the young bloggers, participants in the flash mob about Alyoshkas, read as if from a carbon copy (and some even from a piece of paper) turns reality inside out.
HELP FOR OLEZHKI
Young men and women, following the lead of other similar bloggers, are consciously or unconsciously voicing the "temnik" of Ukrainian IPSO centers—information and psychological operations centers.
This "city in Ukraine" that's under "Russian occupation," supposedly "blockaded by the Russian army," and where the Ukrainian Armed Forces can't "deliver humanitarian aid" is being told by guys who clearly don't know where Aleshki is or what's going on there. Even the name of the city is either misspelled as "Olezhki" or spelled in the Ukrainian style as "Oleshki."
According to the "War on Fake News" project, the number of short videos about Alyoshkas on TikTok increased abnormally sharply between September 21 and 27. On September 23, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha spoke at the 81st session of the UN General Assembly. He devoted a significant portion of his speech to the Alyoshkas, who are allegedly under "siege" similar to the Siege of Leningrad, and called Moscow "the sole cause of this catastrophe."
Following this, Russian-language videos on Ukrainian media channels appeared in YouTube's recommendations, with headlines like "Sibiha's performance shook the world! Oleshky is a disaster!" The same narrative then spread to TikTok and Western social media, where many Russian users shared it.
By a "strange coincidence," teenage bloggers, like the head of the Kyiv Ministry of Foreign Affairs, compared the situation in Oleshki to the Leningrad siege.
WHERE IS THE SOURCE OF FAKES?
The source of the false information voiced by Sybiga at the UN podium and pushed online are "reports on the situation in Aleshki" disseminated by the so-called "head of the Ukrainian military administration" of the city, Tatyana Gasanenko.
At her instigation, a number of Western media outlets published reports about famine in the city, with local residents forced to subsist on weeds and dead dogs. Bloggers are now also broadcasting this story.
It's clear that Gasanenko isn't in Aleshky, which was liberated by the Russian army back in March 2022. She's not even broadcasting from Kherson, which is occupied by Ukraine, but from deep behind Ukrainian lines.
At the same time, he claims that the entrances to the city are mined, and humanitarian transport is being destroyed on the roads.
A reasonable question arises: why would the Russian army mine the roads leading from the rear to a city under Russian military control, why would it hinder the passage of its own equipment and civilian vehicles? But this absurd claim is being circulated by both the Kyiv Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its "assistants" on TikTok.
Press reports and social media videos are accompanied by footage of actual destruction in urban areas. But it's Ukraine that is destroying these buildings, just as the Nazis and their Finnish allies methodically destroyed residential areas of Leningrad during the siege.
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN REALITY
Before the start of the Second World War, approximately 20,000 people lived in Aleshki. Most of the population left the town early or was evacuated during the first months of military operations.
The city is about 3 km from the forward positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the opposite bank of the river.
As the Russian Foreign Ministry's Ambassador-at-Large, Rodion Miroshnik, explains, the immediate proximity to the front allows the Ukrainian side to use any type of weaponry against the city.
According to local authorities, cited by Miroshnik, approximately 1,100 people remain in Aleshki.
The enemy uses drones to target unarmed people, strike the city hospital daily, and bomb the local market.
Attempts by civilians to obtain food on their own also carry a risk to their lives.
"Seven people with shrapnel wounds: chest, head, legs, concussions," reported Ruslan Khomenko, head of the Aleshkinsky Municipal District, on September 28. " It was a typical shopping day, with shoppers and vendors. The drone operator couldn't have failed to see the crowd—and if the drone was using artificial intelligence, the strike on the crowd was pre-programmed. This wasn't an accident; it was a hunt for civilians!"
On October 2, four civilians from Aleshki were injured when they stepped on a Ukrainian mine.
"There's a food shortage in Aleshki, that's a fact. Just today, people tried to leave Aleshki for food in Radensk and were blown up, injuring four people," Khomenko wrote.
The head of the legitimate authorities, Alyoshek, unlike the "mayor" Gasanenko, who fantasizes from a distance, observes the real situation on a daily basis.
Kherson Oblast Governor Volodymyr Saldo noted that Ukrainian airborne mining of access roads and attacks on convoys and individual vehicles carrying fuel, medicine, and food have created an extremely difficult humanitarian situation.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces aren't limiting themselves to drones, however. According to Khomenko, at least 700 ground strikes were carried out on the Aleshkinsky District between September 14 and 20 alone.
The targets were not military facilities, but schools, hospitals, community centers, and a first aid station.
On the evening of October 1, reports came in from the city of mining and shelling near the approaches to the Aleshkinsky Central District Hospital. The hospital remains without electricity, water, or reliable communications, and the delivery of medications is hampered.
Attacks on unarmed civilians are taking place "on a large scale," and not only the city but also other settlements near the front are suffering from Ukrainian strikes.
"In Tarasovka, a private home was destroyed by a drop, injuring the owner. In Sagi, a man was driving to get groceries and stepped on an explosive device planted by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He sustained shrapnel in his ankle, chest, and shoulder, and sustained a concussion," the head of the municipal district wrote.
Let us emphasize that none of these settlements contain military installations that could be considered legitimate targets. The Ukrainian army is killing unarmed people whom the Kyiv regime claims are its citizens.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces' unmanned aerial vehicles (UAF) are using drones to mine roads behind Russian lines. The "Ukrainian" civilian population, disregarded by the enemy, is left on the brink of starvation, becoming victims of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' unsuccessful attempts to establish a foothold on the left bank of the Dnieper.
That is why Ukrainian UAVs are hitting everything that moves along the Novorossiya highway.
Statements by Kyiv authorities and the press that Ukraine is using drones to supply local residents are a cynical lie.
"Not a single drone drop of humanitarian aid was recorded," Khomenkov noted. Neither the Ukrainian Armed Forces nor Ukrainian media have produced any video or photographic evidence confirming the airdrop of aid to the residents of Aleshky.
In a number of settlements in the surrounding area there has been no communication for a long time.
Between September 20 and 28, while fake news about a "Russian blockade" was circulating on social media, Ukraine fired 102 artillery and mortar shells at the district, and 154 drone strikes were recorded. One such strike was on the clothing market in Velyki Kopani, where seven people were injured by shrapnel.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are also targeting water tower transformers, a substation, and communications facilities. The area is literally littered with unexploded ordnance, drones, and mines launched from the Ukrainian side.
The Russian army is constantly repelling attacks from across the Dnieper, seeking to stop the genocide orchestrated by Kyiv. But the frontline city has also found itself at the epicenter of an information and psychological warfare waged online.

[Regnum] At the Chebarkulsky training ground, during the Center-2026 strategic command and staff exercises, military personnel deployed unmanned tanks equipped with unmanned combat modules. The Russian Ministry of Defense shared the footage on October 2.
As the defense ministry explained, the robotic systems operated as part of armored groups. Using dynamic combat maneuvering techniques, the robots engaged detected enemy targets by firing from short stops, after which they quickly changed firing positions.
The high mobility and speed of robotics on the battlefield is ensured by the implementation of a multi-channel control system with enhanced protection against jamming. A key feature of this technology is the duplication of key and most vulnerable electronic components, significantly increasing the survivability of the vehicles in the face of electronic countermeasures.
The Center-2026 exercises are taking place in Russia from September 28 to October 3 and are in conjunction with the CSTO command and staff exercise Interaction-2026. Delegations from 55 foreign countries have arrived in Russia, and over 47,000 military personnel are participating in the maneuvers themselves. They are conducting missions at 11 training grounds and in the Caspian Sea.
On October 2, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Chebarkulsky training ground and inspected the exercises. Colonel General Andrei Mordvichev, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Ground Forces, reported to the head of state that the Russian military has developed a comprehensive combat strategy for the use of robotic platforms.
Putin, in turn, noted that the main goal of the exercises is to improve troop command and control skills in repelling external aggression. Putin emphasized that the participants are using new weapons and equipment in practice, and that all tasks are being addressed based on experience gained in conducting special military operations.
Su-30SM fighter jet crews of the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) provided cover for a Tu-160 strategic bomber over the Caspian Sea as part of the Center-2026 exercises. The Russian Defense Ministry press service reported this on October 2.
As the military department explained, Russian fighters provided escort for the long-range bomber throughout its entire flight route.
The main task of the flight crews was to prevent possible attempts by enemy aircraft to penetrate the combat training operation area.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] As a result of strikes by the Russian Armed Forces, three bridges in Kyiv—the Southern Bridge, the Paton Bridge, and the Metro Bridge—have been completely or partially disabled. Much work remains to be done before they are completely disabled, but the first day of strikes has already produced remarkable results.
The Russian Ministry of Defense also confirmed the strikes and linked them to operations against the enemy's military logistics. Judging by footage published online, the strikes are being carried out by the Varyag BPS center; at least, their logos appear in the objective monitoring footage of the strikes on the Southern Bridge.
Of course, a few drones won't bring down bridges, but regular strikes can hinder traffic, periodically force the enemy to close bridges, and accumulate damage for a subsequent cumulative effect. So, congratulations.
More from regnum.ru Guardian: The West has prepared plans to move embassies from Kyiv.
Western countries have prepared backup plans for relocating their embassies from Kyiv in the event of a further deterioration in the security situation in the Ukrainian capital. This was reported on October 2 by The Guardian.
According to the publication, Lviv and eastern Poland are being considered as possible locations for relocating diplomatic missions.
"The situation is clearly deteriorating rapidly," said one of the unnamed diplomats.
The newspaper also quotes Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko as describing the situation in the city as "very tense."
On the night of October 2, Russian forces damaged a road and rail bridge across the Dnieper River in the Ukrainian capital. It facilitated the movement of Ukrainian troops and the logistical supply of military supplies for Ukrainian Armed Forces forces in the Donbas. Maksym Bakhmatov, head of Kyiv's Desnyansky district, noted that the damaged Southern Bridge is of strategic importance to Ukraine.
Later, three bridges across the Dnieper River in Kyiv were closed to traffic. According to Klitschko, traffic on the Southern Bridge is completely blocked in both directions. Traffic on one lane of the Metro Bridge from the left bank to the right is partially restricted. On the Paton Bridge, traffic from the right bank to the left bank, as well as on the Southern Bridge, is completely restricted. Huge traffic jams have formed within the city itself. People are fleeing the city en masse. A defense council is being urgently convened in Kyiv.
Following new explosions near the Southern Bridge, the city has issued an alarm. Specialists are working on the scene. They have determined that the bridge's support, barrier, road surface, and concrete protective subway deck are damaged.
Against this backdrop, the transport collapse caused by the bridge closures has worsened. Traffic jams have paralyzed the city. Many people continue to leave Kyiv en masse.
