Teen in Voronezh charged with plotting to bomb military vehicle on orders from Ukrainian intelligence, Russia's Investigative Committee says. The 16-year-old allegedly received 29,000 rubles in crypto and retrieved explosives but was detained by FSB before carrying out the attack.

Russia's Investigative Committee reported on a 16-year-old teenager from Voronezh who, on orders from Ukrainian intelligence, planned to blow up a military vehicle. The youth was charged with preparation of a terrorist act and illegal handling of explosives. According to law enforcement, in May 2025 the minor began communicating with representatives of Ukrainian intelligence. In the summer of that year, he started surveilling the military's vehicle and photographing it. The investigation claims he received about 29,000 rubles in cryptocurrency for his work. Later, 'acting on instructions from handlers,' the youth retrieved explosives from a cache in the city of Lisk, but did not manage to install them on the military's vehicle as he was detained by FSB officers. The minor is currently in a pre-trial detention center. The Investigative Committee says his case will be sent to court 'in the near future.'
