[Regnum] The Federal Security Service (FSB) prevented a terrorist attack at the military commissariat in Tver, the intelligence service's Public Relations Center reported on October 26. The department clarified that the terrorist attack was planned by the Ukrainian special services with the participation of a Russian citizen who was a member of the Ukrainian nationalist formation. According to the FSB, an agent of the Ukrainian special services collected and transmitted data on military and fuel and energy facilities in the region for money. A cache of weapons and explosives was prepared in advance for him to blow up the military registration and enlistment office in Tver. During the arrest, the security service added, the attacker offered armed resistance and was neutralized. Homemade explosives and an RGD-5 grenade were seized at the scene. “None of the civilians or security officials were injured,” the FSB emphasized. A criminal case has been initiated under Part 1 of Article 30 and Part 1 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code of Russia. As Regnum reported , on October 17, FSB officers detained a resident of Crimea, who was recruited by the Ukrainian special services. He provided one of the representatives of the Ukrainian special services with data on the socio-political, economic and military situation in Crimea. Carrying out an assignment from Ukrainian curators, he organized hiding places in Crimea. When a package with an explosive device was removed from the cache, he was detained. On October 16, a resident of the Kurgan region was detained for collaborating with a Ukrainian organization banned in Russia. He initiated cooperation in March with this organization acting against the security of Russia. On instructions from Ukrainian curators, he was supposed to distribute anti-Russian propaganda materials. Also, Ukrainian curators instructed him to collect and provide information about the location of units of Russian law enforcement agencies and military registration and enlistment offices. |
