Security guard during shelling in Kyiv prohibited people from hiding in the shelter: what happened.

According to ТСН: On the night of January 9, during a massive shelling of Kyiv by the Russian army, a security guard of an underground parking lot, which is a civil protection facility, prohibited people from hiding in the premises. The 61-year-old man did not allow people into the shelter where cars were parked.

According to Kyiv police, the security guard believed that during an alarm, citizens should only remain on the transport entry and turnaround area.

Access to all shelter spaces was only restored after the arrival of Dnipro Police Department staff.

The law enforcement authorities drew up an administrative protocol against the security guard under article 175-3 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses, which pertains to violations of requirements for the maintenance and operation of civil protection facilities.

Police emphasized that during an air raid alert, citizens must have free and unobstructed access to shelters, as it concerns the preservation of life and health of people.

This situation underscores the importance of adhering to safety rules during emergencies. Authorities urge citizens to be attentive to actions that may affect their safety and health in the face of threats.
