Counterintelligence of the Security Service of Ukraine prevented<\/a> another terrorist attack in Khmelnytskyi<\/strong>. Law enforcement officers detained a minor Russian agent who, on the orders of Russian special services, was preparing to detonate an explosive device targeting a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

According to the investigation, the 16-year-old<\/strong> resident of Chernivtsi<\/strong> recruited by Russians was supposed to independently manufacture an improvised explosive device and then leave it in a cache for another agent who was to carry out the attack directly.<\/p>\n

The minor came into the view of Russian special services after he began looking for “easy” earnings on Telegram<\/strong>. After recruitment, his handlers sent him to Khmelnytskyi<\/strong>. Upon arriving in the city, following instructions from his Russian handler, the young man purchased the necessary components to make an improvised explosive device. Later he received from a Russian intelligence officer the coordinates of a stash where he was to pick up TNT with an electric detonator to complete the device.<\/p>\n

The agent additionally “reinforced” the finished explosive device with metal nuts and left it in the designated cache. He also installed a phone camera with remote access on a tree. Using this equipment, the Russian special services were able to monitor the situation near the cache. After completing the task, the minor called a taxi and headed to the local bus station, from where he planned to take the first departure back to Chernivtsi Oblast<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

SBU officers detained him at the bus station as he tried to leave Khmelnytskyi<\/strong>. During the arrest, the suspect’s smartphone was seized, containing evidence of his cooperation with the Russian special services. SBU investigators informed the detainee of suspicion under part 2 of Article 111 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine<\/strong> \u2014 high treason committed under martial law.<\/p>\n

The minor is currently held in custody without the right to bail. Under the charged article he faces life imprisonment with confiscation of property<\/strong>. Comprehensive measures were carried out by SBU officers in Khmelnytskyi Oblast<\/strong> under the procedural supervision of the regional prosecutor’s office.<\/p>\n
