This is stated in a message from the Public Relations Center of the FSB of Russia, which is quoted by RIA Novosti.

We are talking about a recruited Russian citizen born in 1974.

According to the FSB, the agent was involved in the murder of an officer of the Russian Ministry of Defense, which was committed in October 2023 using an improvised explosive device.

In addition, he transmitted to the enemy the coordinates of the locations of the Russian military and security forces.

On the eve of the presidential elections in Russia, the agent tried to remove weapons from a cache to carry out another terrorist attack.

“During the arrest, he offered armed resistance and was neutralized by return fire,” the FSB said.

A pistol and ammunition were seized at the scene.
