[Regnum] In North Ossetia, two teenagers were detained and taken into custody, who are accused of preparing a terrorist attack against law enforcement officers. This was reported on July 18 by the Investigative Committee of Russia. The criminal case against 15-year-old local residents, who are supporters of a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation, is being investigated under two articles of the Russian Criminal Code: preparation for a terrorist act committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy, and undergoing training for the purpose of carrying out terrorist activities. According to the investigation, from June 2024 to May 2025, the accused underwent training and acquired specialized literature and instructions. “In May 2025, the accused purchased components for making a homemade explosive device in the city of Mozdok and stored them at their places of residence for the purpose of subsequently committing a terrorist act against law enforcement officers,” the investigative agency said in a statement. The teenagers did not have time to commit the planned crime; they were detained by law enforcement officers. They are currently in custody. |
