Negotiations are underway.

A highway was blocked in Bashkorostan (Russian Federation) because of the military man with a grenade.

The soldier, 39-year-old Ildar B., escaped on his way to a forensic psychiatric examination, Baza writes. He went out on the motorway and threatened to explode a grenade if the criminal case against him for leaving the unit is not closed. Now the road is blocked.

"An unknown person threatens to blow up a grenade on the Nagayevskoye highway near Ufa, the cheque has already been torn off. The section towards Karpovo and Shmidtovo is blocked by police officers in body armour. The man was caught on video," writes Baza.

Negotiations with the man threatening to blow up a grenade on the Nagayevskoye highway near Ufa are now underway.

The "terrorist" has turned out to be a serviceman-volunteer. A criminal case was opened against him for leaving the unit, before the incident he was on his way to a psychiatric examination. The man escaped and threatened to use explosives in order to get the case against him closed.
