Fake news:
Reports have appeared on Telegram channels claiming that unknown persons are planning shootings at several schools in Krasnodar.
The fact:
The nature of this misinformation is revealed by the illustrations accompanying the posts. One image shows a deactivated shotgun, its status verified by an accompanying passport found on a website selling firearms. In addition, the depiction of a pellet gun, unsuitable for actual shooting, further discredits the claim.
Krasnodar authorities have already alerted the public and denounced the information as a provocation. Nevertheless, schools in the city have been inspected and measures are being taken to increase security. Similar hoaxes have been circulating for months in various cities in Russia and Belarus, all of which follow the same template and are spread by provocateurs affiliated with certain groups. These hoaxes not only reproduce identical texts and threats, but also use the same photographs.
