MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) said it prevented a terrorist attack in the Moscow Region, plotted by Ukrainian special services against a head of a defence industry enterprise for the Russian Defence Ministry.
"The Federal Security Service of Russia has prevented a terrorist attack in the Moscow Region planned by the Ukrainian special services against one of the heads of a defense industry enterprise of Russia, which makes products for the Russian Ministry of Defense," the FSB said in a statement on Wednesday.
During the operation, seven Russians, living in the Moscow, Sverdlovsk regions and the Perm Territory were detained, including three minors involved in organising surveillance of the parking lot of the personal vehicle of the target of terrorist attack, making a homemade explosive device from components seized from a hiding place, and planting it under the vehicle to carry out the explosion.
"The group members are currently giving confessions and cooperating with the investigation," the statement said.
The activities of the perpetrators were coordinated by the Ukrainian special services via foreign internet messengers, which is confirmed by information in the communication devices seized from the detainees.
