As Kommersant wrote, the mobilized man was a platoon commander in one of the military units, which was stationed in the Belgorod region. According to investigators, on the night of January 14, 2023, after drinking alcohol, Lobovikov decided to check the guards. In the barracks, he woke up the soldiers, took out an RGD-5 grenade, pulled out the ring from it and invited one of the recruits to put it in its place. He replied that he did not know how it was done.
After this, the mobilized man went out into the corridor and threw a grenade into the slightly open door of the next room, where soldiers from another platoon were sleeping. There were gas cylinders in the room, which exploded after the ammunition. As a result, seven servicemen were killed and another 16 were injured of varying degrees of severity.
Lobovikov's defense insisted that he did this unintentionally. According to the mobilized lawyer, Leonard Sultangareev, the ring in the grenade barely held on, and the junior sergeant decided to take it out into the street. In the corridor he lost consciousness. The grenade that fell from the man’s hand allegedly rolled into the next room, where it exploded.
Lobovikov asked to show leniency towards him. According to him, during the war he served as part of an assault detachment and received a shell shock, after which he took sedatives. In combination with alcohol, as the defense insisted, they “gave a negative effect.”
