The Federal Security Service of Russia (FSB) stated that a suspect planned to stage an explosion, targeting the infrastructure of the Baltic Fleet.
On Thursday, the FSB published a video showing agents detain a man who had intended to carry out a terror attack in Kaliningrad, Russia.
According to the authorities, the suspect confessed to his plans, and the investigators discovered a stash with an IED with the explosive power of five kilograms (11 pounds) of TNT.

"In the city of Kaliningrad, a local resident, a citizen of the Russian Federation, born in 1967, a supporter of ... the Azov* organization, was identified and detained. He had intentions to commit sabotage and a terrorist attack against the objects of the Baltic Fleet of the Russian Navy and military personnel, as well as the Khrabrovo airport," a statement from the authorities read.

The FSB noted that the suspect, who had a stash of Azov insignias and Ukrainian propaganda material, planned to flee the country following the attack.
This is not not the first terror attack the FSB has foiled this month: two weeks ago, the agency foiled a Ukraine-linked plot targeting an oil pipeline in Volgograd Region. Two neo-Nazis coordinated by the Ukrainian security services were eliminated during the operation.
*The Azov battalion is a terrorist organization banned in Russia.
