Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) claims it has foiled an alleged drone attack near Moscow involving two Moldovan citizens and Ukrainian rapper Kyivstoner.
According to the FSB, the suspects were allegedly preparing to target what it described as “strategic enterprises” in an operation that Russian authorities say was organized by Ukrainian intelligence services.
The FSB alleges that the drones were smuggled into Russia through Poland and Slovakia, concealed among ceramic tiles. The agency claims the two Moldovan suspects prepared a launch site before leaving Russia.
Russian authorities also said one of the detained suspects opened fire during the arrest, while another claimed he had been recruited through what he described as a “terrorist organization” and was tasked with unlocking the premises where the drones were stored.
The FSB has not publicly presented evidence supporting its allegations, and the claims have not been independently verified.
Moldovan authorities have not commented on the FSB’s statements.
