У Петропавлівській Борщагівці нібито утримують 40 людей у підвалі: правоохоронці з’ясовують обставини
What happened
Police and the National Guard say reports that about 40 people are being held captive in a basement in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka near Kyiv are false.
Posts on social media and Telegram channels had claimed armed men were holding about 40 people against their will in a private house on Soniachna Street.
Private ambulance workers called police after being denied access to a man who needed medical attention, the Kyiv region police and the National Guard said.
Officers found the incident was taking place near a house where servicemen of a National Guard unit were staying, with local residents gathered nearby.
TSN, citing law enforcement sources, reported that only one person is at the address, apparently a man who may have left his unit without permission.
UNIAN's correspondent reported that four seriously ill people were being taken from the house to hospital, and a medic who came out said about 25 people were inside.
TSN also quoted a medical worker who said the people held there have injuries, probably from beatings, while police leadership and National Guard command are on site establishing the circumstances.
