Police in Zimbabwe report that security guards killed a man dressed in combat fatigues outside the Russian Embassy in Harare on Wednesday night.
Police spokesperson Paul Nyathi said the 24-year-old man was shot after confronting security guards at the embassy.
He was taken to a local hospital where he remains under arrest as police conduct an investigation into the incident.
Surveillance footage showed a man staggering towards the guards, the Russian embassy press attaché, Egor Kuropitnik said.
As he approached the perimeter of the embassy, an officer fired what could have been a warning shot, but the man continued to move towards the security. A second shot was fired and the man collapsed.
He did not appear to have been trying to scale the wall, Kuropitnik said.
