July 9. An emergency in Yakutia: a local airfield controller was blinded with a laser.

It is noted that during the landing of the aircraft for landing in the village of Chulman, the pilot of the tower was blinded by a laser. Despite the seriousness of the situation, the dispatcher of the control tower could still land the aircraft without any incidents.

The Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation has already begun to investigate this case, and the local police are looking for unknown persons. Search for hooligans is somewhat difficult because at the moment only the direction from which the laser beam was directed is set.
