Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) claims to have prevented “a terrorist attack during a mass gathering” in Stavropol Krai in southwestern Russia on Friday, according to Russian state-owned media.
The FSB claimed to have detained three citizens from an unnamed Central Asian country who allegedly planned to detonate a bomb at a mass gathering, according to TASS.
“Components of an improvised explosive device, chemicals, and munitions were seized from the detainees at their place of residence,” the FSB said, cited by TASS.
Daily Express US could not independently verify these claims.
