The Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia has arrested an Azerbaijani national suspected of planning bomb attacks in support of Ukraine. The individual is accused of joining a ‘terror.terrorist organization’ linked to Ukraine and conducting surveillance on potential targets in southern Russia. The arrest was made following an investigation that uncovered evidence of the accused’s involvement in planning attacks against Russian interests.
The FSB has stated that the accused was actively gathering intelligence on critical infrastructure in southern Russia, including transportation hubs and administrative centers. According to official sources, the individual’s activities were part of a broader network of individuals allegedly working in coordination with Ukrainian separatist groups.
The Azerbaijani government has not yet commented on the arrest, but it has previously maintained a neutral position in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The situation highlights the complex geopolitical landscape in the Caucasus region, where tensions between Russia and various neighboring countries remain high.
