FSB Says It Foiled Ukrainian Plot to Kill Senior Kremlin Official Near Moscow

The announcement remains unverified by independent media following a documented surge in targeted killings in 2025.

Overview

  • Russia's security service said it disrupted a plan to bomb a graveside visit by one of the country's highest-ranking officials, alleging Ukrainian coordination and detaining multiple suspects in Moscow.
  • The FSB described a booby-trapped vase with a hidden camera at Troyekurovskoye Cemetery and released videos of detainees, but the claim has not been independently verified.
  • The agency warned that Ukrainian services are preparing similar attacks inside Russia.
  • Overnight strikes hit both countries, with Kyiv's authorities reporting at least three dead, 26 wounded and damage to homes and a medical facility after Russian aerial attacks.
  • The Krasnodar governor said a Ukrainian drone struck Novorossiysk, wounding at least four people and damaging an oil depot, as monitoring data show assassination attempts have increased this year.
