[RIA Novosti] Security forces have detained four Islamists from a cell of the Hayat Tahrir ash-Sham group banned in Russia* in the Kaluga region, the FSB reported.

"On the territory of the Kaluga region , the activities of four members of a clandestine cell of the international terrorist organization Hayat Tahrir ash-Sham, one of whom planned, on the instructions of foreign emissaries, to commit a terrorist act at military facilities in the region, were exposed and suppressed," the press release says.

Components of improvised explosives were found in the suspect's hiding place. In addition, allegedly, the seized gadgets found correspondence with terrorists in the Middle East and materials with instructions for making bombs.

There is an investigation of the case under the article on preparation for a terrorist attack.
