The 2nd Eastern District Military Court in Novosibirsk sentenced two minors from Omsk in connection with the sabotage of a military airport. This was reported to RIA Novosti by the official representative of the FSB Directorate of the Omsk region of Russia, Irina Rusnak.
As the investigation established, in September 2024, two 16-year-old teenagers prepared an incendiary mixture and at night entered the territory of the Omsk-Severny military airport, where they burned a Mi-8 helicopter and disappeared.
The FSB clarified that security forces arrested the arsonists within 24 hours. During interrogation, the teens said they were on a mission from an unknown handler they received via text message. They were promised $20,000 for the vandalism.
