The Islamic State released a video on Tuesday that appeared to show a child killing two men accused of spying for Russia. In the video, the two men, who said they were from Kazakhstan and Russia, said they had been working with the Federal Security Service (FSB), the Russian intelligence agency, to infiltrate the extremist organization.

In an interview at the start of the video, produced by al-Hayat Media Center, a man who gives his name as Mamayev Jambulat Yesenjanovich says he was working to “gather information about fighters from Russia” and to obtain computer data. The Russian man, Ashimov Sergey, says he was sent to kill an unnamed man and locate the residence of the Islamic State's leader.

At the end of the video, the two men are shot with a pistol by a child at an undisclosed location.

The Russian government has not confirmed that any agents were killed, and the FSB told the Russian news agency Ria Novosti that it had "no information at all."
