Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has said that its operatives have curbed the activities of four female agents recruited by Ukraine to carry out acts of terrorism and sabotage inside Russia.
The suspects, who operated in the cities of Sevastopol, Voronezh and Rostov-on-Don, are believed to have been preparing attacks against high-ranking Russian officers and the country’s energy infrastructure, the agency said in a statement on Friday.
The women had previously undergone training inside Ukraine, being taught to use firearms, handle mine and explosives, operate UAVs and detect external surveillance, it added.
During searches at the homes of the suspects, “a significant amount” of explosive materials, chemical precursors for producing explosives, electric detonators and manuals for making improvised explosive devices have been seized, the FSB said.
