Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) announced today that it had thwarted a "series of terrorist acts" directed against servicemen participating in the special military operation (as Moscow calls the war in Ukraine) and civil servants, Reuters and TASS reported.
According to the FSB statement, "Ukrainian special services" organized the sending of parcels with explosive devices by mail, Reuters points out.
The explosives were placed in perfume packages intended for addresses of servicemen in eight regions, TASS specifies, citing the Russian service. The FSB reports that a Russian citizen recruited by Ukrainian special services was detained in the Sverdlovsk region at the time of sending such parcels.
"A series of sabotage and terrorist acts planned by the Ukrainian special services against servicemen of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation participating in the special military operation, as well as civil servants providing assistance to military units in the special military operation zone, have been prevented," the FSB press service said.
