Two suspects had attempted to assassinate Russian officials and were plotting further attacks, the FSB has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Russian law enforcement has broken up a Ukrainian intelligence cell in Donbass that was responsible for attempted assassinations of Russian officials and was planning further attacks, the Federal Security Service (FSB) has said. <\/p>\n

In a statement on Friday, the FSB said it had uncovered \u201can agent group of Ukraine\u2019s Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR)\u201d<\/em> operating in Russia\u2019s Donetsk People\u2019s Republic (DPR).<\/p>\n

The group included two Russian nationals, aged 38 and 28, who were allegedly involved in car bombings in March and December 2024 targeting a Kherson Region government employee and a former senior official of Russia\u2019s Federal Penitentiary Service in Donetsk. <\/p>\n

The FSB said the men also prepared attacks against the head of a municipal administration in Donetsk and an unnamed commander of a volunteer battalion.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old suspect, a resident of Donetsk, was recruited by Ukrainian intelligence in 2022 and tasked with \u201corganizing terrorist attacks, recruiting accomplices and distributing explosive devices,\u201d<\/em> the FSB said. Meanwhile, the 28-year-old was said to have traveled twice to Moscow in 2023 to gather intelligence on the whereabouts of an unnamed Russian journalist.<\/p>\n

The suspects face charges of high treason, terrorism, and illegal circulation of explosives. They could face life in prison if convicted. <\/p>\n

The agency also released a video showing a large group of heavily armed operatives entering a building in Donetsk and later escorting a suspect from an apartment. When asked if he knew why he was being detained, the man replied that he assumed it was for \u201cblowing up a person in Donetsk.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The video showed what appeared to be one of the suspects planting an explosive device under a car. Then, a man that some reports claim was a Russian official approached the vehicle, which exploded as he tried to get in. <\/p>\n

Moscow has on numerous occasions accused Kiev of attempting to stage terrorist plots against senior military personnel, civilian officials, and opinion leaders, as well as sabotage critical infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
