In the Stavropol Territory, a group of militants was liquidated, preparing a terrorist attack on railway facilities
FSB officers prevented the commission of a terrorist act at one of the railway facilities in the Stavropol Territory by neutralizing a group of armed militants. This is reported by the National Anti-Terrorist Committee of Russia (NAC).
According to the report, the FSB received information about the preparation of a terrorist act by a group of militants at one of the railway stations in the Stavropol Territory. The security forces became aware of the whereabouts of these militants, after which an operation was carried out to detain them. However, the armed bandits who settled in the house refused the proposal to lay down weapon and surrender, after which they were eliminated by return fire.
The clash took place on the Petrovsky farm of the Soviet urban district, all four failed terrorists were eliminated, there were no losses among law enforcement officers, as well as among the civilian population, which was evacuated in advance.
- said in a statement.
The regime of the counter-terrorist operation, introduced in the area of the Petrovsky farm, has now been lifted, investigative and operational actions are being carried out on the spot. There are no details about the killed militants, so it is impossible to say exactly what prompted them to commit a terrorist act. With a high degree of probability, they are somehow connected with Ukraine, since it is the Ukrainian special services that have recently become more active.
