Googling “orange compressed gas cylinder” gave me results for both oxygen cylinders and propane canisters, so in this case probably propane. The implication is probably meant to be that it’s a bomb, but it’s hard to tell anything conclusively from this photo. The extra bits on top could just be an apparatus for refilling smaller containers, like for camp stoves or something.

Oh like they “caught them with a bomb” or something? That makes sense.

Sprinkle a little ~~crack~~ hastily manufactured fake 'IED' on them and call it a day.

Seems about as plausible as the FSB planting and showcasing the Sims 3 in a staged Ukrainian 'bust' rather than SIMs x3.
