[Regnum] FSB officers seized 80 kg of explosives that Ukrainian intelligence services had prepared for a series of terrorist attacks in the Kaluga region. The FSB's public relations center reported this on December 25. Law enforcement officials determined that the terrorist attacks were planned by a Zaporizhzhia native on orders from the Kyiv regime. He was preparing to blow up a federal gas storage facility and a defense plant parking lot. "The terrorist manufactured approximately 80 kg of high explosives and homemade incendiary devices. 300 grams of foreign-made plastic explosives, two electric detonators, a PM pistol, and ammunition were seized from a cache established by Ukrainian special services," the agency's website states. As security forces were detaining the perpetrator, he opened fire. He was killed in the ensuing shootout. No law enforcement officers or civilians were injured. On the man's phone, Telegram messages were found with a handler from the Ukrainian intelligence services. They discussed details of the crimes, as well as instructions for making bombs and explosives. A criminal case has been opened for preparing a terrorist attack. The agency warned that anyone who agreed to collaborate with the enemy would be found and held accountable. On December 24, FSB officers prevented a terrorist attack at a key oil pipeline facility in the Tyumen region by neutralizing a saboteur recruited by the Kyiv regime. The agent was detained while retrieving components for an explosive device from a hiding place. |
