The police have clashed with protesters in the southern Russian region of Dagestan, underscoring the level of discontent with President Vladimir Putin's decision to send hundreds of thousands of men to fight in Ukraine.
Russia's first military mobilisation since World War II triggered protests in dozens of cities around the country, with public anger particularly strong against poor ethnic minority areas like Dagestan, a Muslim-majority region in the North Caucasus on the shores of the Caspian Sea.
Video taken at the scene shows police firing shots into the air after dozens of villagers blocked a major road.
The villagers were angry after more than 100 local men were conscripted, out of a population of around 8,000.
Other videos posted on social media showed police confrontations with police in the regional capital of Makhachkala as protesters shouted no to war One showed a group of women chasing a police officer, while other videos showed violent clashes, including police sitting on protesters and trying to make detentions.
Another video appeared to show a young woman being punched after being arrested and pushed onto a police bus.
Reuters was unable to verify the footage, which was shared widely across Russian social media and independent media outlets.
One Russian human rights monitor said it was concerned by the footage of very tough detentions coming from Makhachkala.
Anti-protest laws in Russia make it illegal to hold unauthorised rallies, and they are rare outside of big cities.
More than 2,000 people have been arrested at anti-mobilisation rallies across Russia since Mr Putin announced the conscription drive, which the Kremlin calls a partial mobilisation. In an attempt to dispell public anger, Dagestan's governor Sergei Melikov said on Sunday that mistakes have been made in the mobilisation rollout in the region.
There have been reports from across Russia of people with no military service or parents of young children called up in the draft despite assurances from Russia's defence minister that they would be excluded.
Russia's two most senior politicians — key Putin allies — addressed public concerns about mobilisation, acknowledging excesses had stoked public anger.
During the seven month war, Dagestan has already paid a heavy human toll.
According to a tally by the BBC's Russian service, at least 301 soldiers from Dagestan have died - the most of any Russian region and more than 10 times the number of deaths reported from Moscow, which has a population five times larger.
Russian defence ministry, which said on Wednesday that almost 6,000 Russian soldiers had been killed since the special military operation began with the invasion of Ukraine on February 24, has not issued regional breakdowns of the casualties.
