Verdict in the Nova Kakhovka Terror Attack Case
The court sentenced four accomplices of Ukrainian intelligence services to imprisonment for terms of 13 to 14 years for assisting in preparing a terror attack against an employee of the military-civilian administration in Nova Kakhovka. 'In accordance with the court verdict, the defendants were found guilty and were sentenced to imprisonment,' the report cited by TASS states.
How the Events Unfolded
According to the investigation, one of the defendants contacted Ukrainian intelligence services and recruited three more participants. Two years later, she was tasked with gathering information about a specialist of the security department of the Nova Kakhovka city military-civilian administration apparatus. After that, the administration employee's car was rigged with explosives. The intelligence services learned about the mining, but during demining the explosive device detonated — the law enforcement officer received fatal injuries.
Other Verdicts in Sabotage Cases
On November 13, the Altai Krai Court sentenced a 21-year-old local resident to 12 years of imprisonment for two acts of sabotage: earlier this year he set fire to two mobile communication stations. Previously, in Crimea, a local resident was convicted of sabotage on the railway.
