Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has thwarted a terrorist attack planned by Ukrainian special services, targeting employees of a defense company in the Yaroslavl region. The attack involved the intended use of toxic substances to be released into the employees' cars. A Russian citizen, who was allegedly directed by Kiev, was detained in connection with the plot. The FSB reported that the suspect had planned to pour chemicals into the air vents of the vehicles, which would have caused respiratory burns potentially leading to fatal outcomes.
