Moscow, August 12 /Xinhua/ — The Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia has thwarted an attempt to blow up a high-ranking officer of the Ministry of Defense, the FSB Public Relations Center reported.
According to the Russian FSB, the explosion was prepared by a 36-year-old “agent of the Ukrainian special services under the pseudonym Voron, recruited in the territory of a third country.”
The detainee received instructions from his handler via the Telegram messenger to make a homemade explosive device and hide it in a car bought with money from the Ukrainian special services. The man was going to blow up a car filled with 60 kg of explosives in the immediate vicinity of the victim. He was detained on the way to the site of the planned terrorist attack.
During interrogation, he said that he came from Ukraine to Russia in 2023 to avoid mobilization in his homeland. He later received Russian citizenship, after which Ukrainian special services contacted him.
Chairman of the National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC), Director of the Russian FSB Alexander Bortnikov on Tuesday noted an increase in terrorist crimes committed by people who fell under the influence of Ukrainian special services. According to the NAC, 172 terrorist acts have already been prevented in Russia this year.
“This year alone, coordinated actions by security forces have prevented 172 terrorist attacks aimed at damaging critical and social infrastructure, as well as attacks on military personnel and government officials… The threat from terrorist movements is not decreasing,” the NAC RF said in a statement. –0–
