Russian FSB officers have detained an Azerbaijani citizen in the Stavropol Territory for preparing terrorist attacks, the Russian FSB reported.
An Azerbaijani citizen was detained in the Stavropol Territory, who had voluntarily joined a Ukrainian terrorist organization banned in Russia. On the instructions of his leaders, he conducted a detailed reconnaissance of several places intended for sabotage and terrorist acts, in particular, in the administrative buildings of law enforcement agencies in the cities of Yessentuki and Stavropol and in transport infrastructure,” the report said.
