Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) announced on Friday that it had successfully foiled an attack allegedly orchestrated by Ukraine's Security Service (SBU). According to a report by the state-run RIA news agency, the target was a senior law enforcement official, with the attack set to take place near a business center in Moscow.

The FSB revealed that the SBU had planned to detonate an explosive device remotely during the official's visit to the business center. The agency claimed that the SBU had identified the target through organized video surveillance. However, the FSB did not disclose the specific identity of the intended target or the timing of the planned attack.

As of now, there has been no immediate response from Ukraine, and Reuters has been unable to independently verify the details provided by the FSB. The international community is closely watching the situation as tensions continue to rise between the two nations.
