In Skolkovo, security guards planted a TNT bomb under a gas pipe and successfully "prevented a terrorist attack"—they were afraid their contracts would not be renewed.

Three security guards patrolling the area discovered  A 200-gram block of TNT, packed in a bag with the colors of the Ukrainian flag. As it turned out later, they themselves planted the bag under a gas pipe near a gas distribution substation, ensuring that the explosives would not detonate even accidentally. 

In this way, the guards wanted to ensure the extension of their contracts or receive a bonus for “vigilance”.

The participants in the scam brought a block of TNT and a package with Ukrainian symbols from the SVO zone, where they had previously served. 

All three now face charges of illegally acquiring and carrying explosive devices as part of an organized group.

Participants in the war in Ukraine often bring weapons and explosives back from the war zone. This sometimes leads to tragedies. For example, in August in the Tula village of Kurkino perished Four people were arrested after a member of the SVO detonated a grenade during a domestic dispute. And in June, in Novomoskovsk (also in the Tula region), a former Wagnerite had a fight He and his neighbors, who were doing noisy construction work, threw a munition onto their property. The neighbor was injured by shrapnel, and the victim's car and house were also damaged.
