Ukraine’s SSU uncovered a shocking case involving 15- and 16-year-olds who were tricked by the FSB into espionage missions disguised as innocent quests, assisting in reconnaissance for airstrikes.
🔎 Key Insights:
➟ How: Teens were sent coordinates, tasked to take photos/videos of key locations.
➟ Impact: Data shared via encrypted chats led to airstrikes on Ukrainian soil.
➟ Key Arrests: Ukraine’s SSU detained multiple operatives, including a Russian police officer orchestrating the missions.
"The minors carried out hostile tasks of conducting reconnaissance, correcting strikes, and arson," the SSU said in a statement released Friday. "To mask subversive activities, both enemy cells operated separately from each other."
