Teens destroy expensive helicopter when dad goes to war.

A 13-year-old boy named Timur and his 14-year-old friend, Sasha, have found themselves in a dangerous situation. Reports claim that the two teenagers were involved in an alleged attack on a helicopter in Russia, which has left them with serious burns. It is said that they were paid to carry out this act, which has caused significant damage and led to their arrest.
The incident took place in Noyabrsk, a city situated in the western Siberian oilfields. According to MailOnline, the boys are accused of targeting a Mi-8T chopper using lit cigarettes and fuel, resulting in almost complete destruction. The authorities have stated that the boys suffered burns on their faces and hands, which required medical attention and ultimately led to their capture.
The helicopter was used to service the oil and gas infrastructure in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Region of Siberia. Sources claim that the boys were offered a significant sum of money, equivalent to £42,000, through the messaging app Telegram, to carry out the attack. This is a substantial amount compared to the average yearly salary in Russia, which is around £11,323. It is believed that the boys may have been motivated by the opportunity to bring back the father of one of them, who was conscripted to fight in Ukraine.
Currently, the boys are under armed guard while receiving treatment in the hospital. They have also admitted to destroying a mobile phone mast in the past, for which they were paid £250. To access the chopper, they had to sneak through a hole in the fence, as revealed by the investigator who has launched a criminal case into the incident.
This event has taken place amidst the ongoing war in Ukraine, which shows no signs of ending. According to the country's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, recent Russian strikes have resulted in the death of dozens and injury of almost 200 people in central Ukraine. In Kursk, Russian troops have claimed to have recaptured territory that was taken by Ukrainian forces in a counteroffensive last month. Furthermore, footage has emerged showing molten thermite mix being dropped on a Russian-held treeline, believed to be in eastern Donetsk region.
