(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Law enforcement officers have detained a group of teenagers who, on orders from the Russian intelligence services, set fire to Ukrzaliznytsia (Ukrainian railway) relay cabinets in Chernihiv area.
This was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), Ukrinform saw.
It was found that the Russian intelligence services operated through a 15-year-old resident of Nizhyn district. The boy came to their attention when actively searching for easy ways to earn money on Telegram channels.
Following the instructions of the occupiers, he recruited two classmates and another minor acquaintance for sabotage activities.
To carry out these hostile tasks, the teenagers first marked the locations of railway equipment, then set it on fire using flammable materials. In this way, they damaged a relay cabinet responsible for ensuring the safe movement of trains along a strategically significant railway section.
