Russian law enforcement successfully thwarted a covert operation by the Ukrainian Special Operations Service in the Bryansk region, according to the FSB.

In a significant development, Russian security forces have successfully apprehended a sabotage group in the Bryansk region, accused of orchestrating bombings on railway tracks in the Belgorod region in 2024. Three more members of this group were detained, while three others were reportedly killed during the operation.

The detained saboteurs have confessed to their involvement in the railway bombings and also admitted to preparing for other terrorist attacks, although the specific transport facilities targeted in the planned attacks remain unspecified.

Investigative actions are ongoing to uncover the full extent of the sabotage group's activities. Criminal cases have been initiated in relation to these activities in both the Bryansk and Belgorod regions.

The saboteurs were reportedly trained with the participation of Western intelligence officers in Ukraine, Lithuania, Estonia, and Norway. However, no details were given about the identities of these officers or the potential consequences for the Ukrainian government or military in relation to the sabotage group's activities.

Regrettably, no new information about the nationalities of the remaining saboteurs or the casualties resulting from the bombings and the subsequent operation was provided. It is also unclear if any further operations were conducted to apprehend the remaining members of the group.

The location or nature of the other planned terrorist attacks by this group was not specified. The search results do not provide information about the names or identities of the three persons who were trained in Ukraine and are linked to the bomb attacks on railway tracks in the Bryansk and Belgorod regions in 2024.

This incident underscores the ongoing threat of terrorism and the need for vigilance and cooperation between nations in the pursuit of peace and security.
