The FSB reported on the prevention of a terrorist attack in Ufa, which was planned to be carried out by two citizens of a Central Asian country who were members of the Islamic State.

One of the alleged participants in the terrorist attack, who is called the “leader of the cell,” was shot dead by FSB officers “as a result of a clash.”

The surviving detainee is accused of preparing for a terrorist attack (Part 1 of Article 30, Part 2 of Article 205 of the Criminal Code) and participation in a terrorist organization (Part 2 of Article 205.5 of the Criminal Code).

The FSB press service also published a video of two men buying goods at a hardware store, with footage of them being detained and searched in one of the apartments.

“I was offered to carry out jihad in Ufa, and we were preparing a bomb, after which we wanted to blow up the police,” one of the detainees says in the recording.
