Russia’s FSB Thwarts Plot to Bomb Top Defense Official
(MENAFN) Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) announced on Tuesday that it successfully prevented a terror plot aimed at a senior defense ministry official in the Moscow area.
Authorities arrested a dual Russian-Ukrainian national who attempted to carry out the attack using a homemade explosive device concealed inside a vehicle. The FSB revealed the car was loaded with over 60 kilograms of explosives, intended to be detonated as the targeted high-ranking officer passed by.
Russian officials have increasingly reported multiple disrupted attacks in the past year involving car bombs and other explosives, frequently attributing the operations to Ukrainian intelligence services.
In a notable related event, Russian Lieutenant General Yaroslav Moskalik, deputy chief of the General Staff’s main operations directorate, was killed in a car explosion in the Moscow region on April 25.
