Authorities in Moscow stated on Saturday that they’d prevented the killing of a high-ranking Russian army officer and a pro-war Russian blogger with a selfmade bomb hidden in a conveyable music speaker, a plot allegedly ready by Ukraine.
Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), a successor to the Soviet-era KGB, stated {that a} Russian citizen, who’s now in custody, seems to have adopted orders from an intelligence officer working at Ukraine’s Military Intelligence Directorate (GUR), who claimed to be named “Andrey” over the Telegram messaging service.
As a part of the plot, the Russian suspect retrieved from a hiding place in Moscow a selfmade bomb disguised as a conveyable speaker and containing the equal of 1.5 kilograms of TNT, the FSB stated.
The FSB didn’t give extra specifics on the identities of the targets.
Disclosure of the alleged plot comes 10 days after Ukraine assassinated the commander of the Russian military’s nuclear, organic and chemical forces in Moscow.
In October, Andriy Korotkyy, a safety chief on the Russia-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear energy plant in southern Ukraine, was killed in a automotive bombing. GUR took duty for that operation, calling Korotkyy “a conflict felony.”
Kyiv has not claimed duty for the most recent plot.
