MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Saturday that it had prevented a terrorist attack planned by Ukrainian special services to blow up a main gas pipeline in the Moscow Region's Serpukhov Urabn District.
"The Federal Security Service of Russia has prevented a terrorist act planned by Ukrainian special services on a main gas pipeline in the Moscow region," the statement read.
In the Serpukhov Urban district, a Russian citizen born in 1969 was caught red-handed while attempting to install an improvised explosive device (IED), the FSB said, adding that he was supposed to drill the ground above the gas pipeline and install bombs disguised as mounting adhesive and after completing the task, he was to leave Russia and return to Ukraine.
The FSB also said that it had seized four IEDs disguised as construction adhesive, as well as devices used for covert communication with his handler. He was sent to Russia by the Ukrainian intelligence under the cover of deportation, it added.
"It has been established that the suspect was recruited by Ukrainian special services in 2024 while detained in a temporary detention center for foreigners in Ukraine for violating migration legislation. Once recruited, the agent was sent to Russia under the legend of deportation," the statement added.
