Russia Claims It Thwarted Ukrainian Plot to Assassinate Officer and Blogger

FSB alleges a Russian citizen, directed by Ukrainian intelligence, planned to use a bomb disguised as a portable speaker in Moscow.

Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) reported stopping a plot to assassinate a high-ranking military officer and a pro-Russian war blogger using a bomb hidden in a portable speaker.
The FSB claims a Russian citizen, allegedly working with Ukraine's military intelligence agency, retrieved the bomb from a hiding spot in Moscow and was arrested before carrying out the attack.
The identities of the intended targets were not disclosed, and Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for the alleged plot.
Ukraine defends targeted killings of those it deems responsible for war crimes as legitimate, while Russia labels such actions as terrorism.
The incident follows other high-profile assassinations linked to the war, including the recent killing of a Russian commander accused of using banned chemical weapons.
