The Russian Federal Security Service said on Tuesday that it prevented a terrorist attack in the Samara Region.

The FSB in a statement said that the person who planned to commit the attack was an accomplice of the Russian Volunteer Corps (banned as a terrorist organisation in Russia).

“Russia’s FSB on the territory of the Samara Region has prevented a terrorist attack planned by a Russian citizen, born in 1994. (He was) an accomplice of the Russian Volunteer Corps terrorist organisation, operating under the patronage of the Ukrainian special services,” the FSB said in the statement.

The saboteur, recruited by Ukraine in the Samara Region, planned to use explosives at a humanitarian aid reception centre, but he blew himself up during arrest.
