This is the surprising incident where a fight erupted among women in bikinis in Ukraine, which has been impacted by conflict.
The altercation allegedly began when a group was playing Russian music loudly at a beach in Odesa, located on the Black Sea coast, as reported by some local sources.
There is a public ban on playing Russian music, so such an act at the well-known Golden Beach might have sparked anger.
Video footage captures the scene of women shoving and pulling at each other.
At one point, two women can be seen clutching each other’s hair before falling onto another pair wrestling in the sand.
More women join the fray, and eventually, some men in shorts get involved as well.
Bodies are shoved out of the melee – some tumbling backwards and taking others with them.
Things look to have calmed down, but then two men begin wrestling on their feet.
And the group of women, now also back on their feet, continues to whack at each other.
The Strana news outlet reported that holidaymakers fought on the beach after “a song in Russian was played”.
Odesa has seen almost daily drone or missile strikes during the war – and the famous Golden Beach usually provides a brief respite from the conflict.
The port city has faced down more than 700 Russian attacks since war broke out in February 2022.
At least 131 civilians have been killed and more than 312 wounded by the aerial offensives.
The Russian port punch-up follows another beach brawl between migrants and locals on the Spanish coast.
A migrant boat arrived and unloaded its occupants, who were chased and tackled by angry beach goers.
Around a dozen of those who arrived on the boat were detained, with some held by beachgoers until authorities arrived.
The shocking incident unfolded on Sotillo Beach in Castell de Ferro, Granada in the afternoon on Sunday.
Footage shared on social media shows a speed boat with young men on board arriving at the shore at around 2pm.
Those on the boat are captured diving into the water in front of stunned holidaymakers and locals.
They then swim to the beach before attempting making a run for it.
But locals are seen tackling some of the migrants to the ground, whilst others manage to escape.
A clip shows a beachgoer in swimming trunks pinning one man down whilst he appears to beg to be let go.
