Military counterintelligence of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) detained a 16-year-old schoolboy in the Kharkiv region who had been recruited by Russian forces and was directing air strikes in the Chuhuiv and Lozova districts.
The SBU reported this, Ukrinform says.
According to the investigation, the teenager came to the attention of Russian intelligence services while searching Telegram channels for easy ways to make money.
In one of the chats, he was offered quick earnings in exchange for adjusting missile, bomb, and drone strikes.
After recruitment, the boy was tasked with identifying anti-aircraft missile systems and radar stations, which Russian forces were preparing to target in a new wave of attacks.
