Law enforcement officers detained teenagers aged 13, 14 and 16, in Mykolaiv. They are suspected of setting fire to two Ukrainian military vehicles ordered by the Russian special services.
This was reported by the National Police.
So, on August 8 and 9, the law enforcement officers received reports about the ignition of servicemenʼs cars. The cause of the fire was deliberate arson.
