In the Penza district, a fifth grader made a frightening call to the police, using the name of a senior criminal and declaring a bomb threat. The report, attributed to Life, described a shocking sequence that prompted urgent action from local authorities.
Officers from Zarechny City received an alarm from a 16-year-old who contacted the hotline and claimed personal responsibility for placing a bomb at a residence. The teenager asserted that he had planted the explosive himself, prompting a rapid mobilization of responders and a thorough safety assessment of the affected area.
Explosive ordnance disposal teams and a service dog arrived at the scene. The designated building was meticulously checked, yet no trace of an explosive was found. Law enforcement personnel also visited the residence of the person named in the call, where the resident denied involvement. The investigation revealed that the younger offender admitted there had been a dispute with a fifth-grader who was four years his junior, which may have influenced the threat narrative.
Further inquiries showed that a 12-year-old boy had used computer programs to alter his voice and cast blame on his alleged abuser. He identified himself by name and contacted emergency services, providing detailed information about the supposed revenge plan. During a subsequent visit to the Ministry of Interior, he described the events of the retaliation operation in some depth, prompting officials to review the context and motives behind the incident.
An official investigation is underway to determine all facts and to decide on the appropriate procedural actions. The case highlights the complexity of youth-driven threats and the need for careful assessment of digital manipulation and misrepresentation in crisis situations.
Additionally, there were reports of unusual behavior linked to a separate matter involving a female individual who had presented herself in a provocative context before an unrelated party’s actions. Authorities noted the inconsistency of the testimony and the importance of verifying details through careful interviews and corroboration, given the potential for deception and manipulation in online and offline communications.
