In Zaporozhye, a terrorist attack against one of the local political figures was prevented, the FSB TsOS reported.
“The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation uncovered and suppressed the activities of Russian citizen Vitaly Dyatlenko, who was recruited by the Security Service of Ukraine and, on the eve of the 2024 election cycle, prepared a terrorist act against one of the political figures of the Zaporozhye region,” the message says.
The man offered armed resistance to security officers and was neutralized by retaliatory actions. It is indicated that there were no casualties among the civilian population and law enforcement officers.
During the inspection of the scene, a Makarov pistol, ammunition and spent cartridges were discovered and seized. At the moment, security forces are carrying out a set of urgent operational-search measures and investigative actions. The issue of initiating a criminal case is also being considered.
“The crime was planned to be committed using an improvised explosive device. The SBU officers coordinated the activities and supplied the saboteur with explosives,” the FSB emphasized.
