On June 19, in Russian-occupied Kherson, Russian servicemen and members of the FSB of the Russian Federation staged a firefight, as a result of which three of them were killed and two were wounded. According to the Investigative Committee, four servicemen of the Temporary Operational Group No. 9 of the FSB of Russia – Igor Yakubinsky, Sergey Privalov, Dmitry Borodin and Evgeny Tikhonov – entered the Food.Topi cafe on Ushakov Street and found two contractors there: Sergeant Sergey Obukhov and Junior Sergeant Igor Sudin who drank alcohol.
The FSB officers made a remark to Obukhov and Sudin about using them in military uniform and with weapons. In response, Obukhov, according to the UK, took out a pistol and fired at the floor. Privalov tried to grab a pistol from him, after which Sudin, "who was behind Obukhov," began shooting at the security forces with an AK-74 assault rifle, and Privalov and Yakubinsky returned fire.
Obukhov, Privalov and Yakubinsky, according to the documents, “died on the spot”, and Borodin and Sudin were “hospitalized with injuries of varying severity to the Federal Naval Clinical Hospital No. 1427 of the Russian Ministry of Defense, located in Sevastopol.” Tikhonov fled the scene.
