According to investigators, in April 2023, two Ukrainian pilots Dmitry Shimansky and Alexander Morozov violated Russian airspace in light A-22 planes in order to drop small bombs on an oil refinery in the Bryansk Region, but failed to accomplish the mission.

The court sentenced Shimansky to 26 years and Alexander Morozov to 22 years in penal colony.
