The Southern District Military Court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced Anton Kadykov, a resident of the Zaporizhzhia region, to 22 years in prison for blowing up his boss's workplace at the MFC.

The court established that in October 2024, Kadykov joined a terrorist community.

As a victim of the terrorist act, he chose the head of the multifunctional center for providing state and municipal services (MFC) in the Zaporizhzhia region. Kadykov worked there as a security guard, writes "Kommersant" on September 7.

In February 2025, the man took explosives from a hiding place and transported them home in the city of Primorsk. He then moved them to the MFC building and hid them in the security room. He installed the explosives under the suspended ceiling above the victim's workplace and made them operational. Using a phone call, he carried out a remote detonation, as a result of which the MFC building was damaged. The victim was not in the office at the time of the explosion.

The next day, Kadykov was detained on suspicion of committing a terrorist act. He was charged with participating in a terrorist community, illegal trafficking of explosive devices, undergoing terrorist training, and committing a terrorist act (part 2 of article 205.4, part 4 of article 222.1, article 205.3, paragraphs "a" and "b" of part 2 of article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). He was found guilty of committing a crime under all the specified articles and sentenced to 22 years in a strict regime colony, with the first four years to be served in prison, as well as a fine of 600,000 rubles.
