A peaceful day at a popular Ukrainian beach quickly descended into chaos when a heated brawl broke out among bikini-clad women after a Russian song was played over loudspeakers.
Witnesses described scenes of pandemonium as the women, reportedly angered by the music choice, began shouting before engaging in a full-blown wrestling match on the sand.
Sun, sand and punches thrown
What started as verbal insults rapidly escalated into physical violence, with several women seen pulling hair, throwing punches and rolling across the beach as stunned onlookers watched.
Beachgoers attempted to intervene as the fight spread across the shoreline, with one woman reportedly suffering minor injuries during the altercation.
Tensions rise over music choice
The confrontation allegedly began when a group of women objected to the playing of a popular Russian song at the height of ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia.
"It was like a switch flipped when that song came on," one witness told reporters. "Suddenly there was shouting, then pushing, and before we knew it they were all fighting in the sand."
Authorities called to restore order
Local police were called to the scene to break up the disturbance, though no arrests were immediately reported. Beach staff quickly turned off the controversial music as tensions began to ease.
This incident comes amid heightened sensitivities in Ukraine regarding Russian cultural influences following the ongoing conflict between the two nations.
