In Krasnogorsk near Moscow, a 17-year-old teenager set fire to a column at a gas station, and then a service car near a police station. The young man admitted that he acted on the instructions of strangers who contacted him in the messenger and introduced themselves as security officers. This was reported by the official representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Irina Volk.

The agency published a recording from video surveillance cameras of the gas station. According to the footage, the teenager brought two bottles to a gas station, poured liquid from them onto petrol guns, then set them on fire with a lighter.

No one was injured in the two arson attacks, Ms Wolf added. The Ministry of Internal Affairs opened a criminal case under the article on intentional destruction or damage to property (part 2 of Art. 167 of the Criminal Code). It is punishable by forced labor or imprisonment for up to five years.
