A Strike on Ammonium Nitrate Prepared in the Port of Odesa - FSB Agents Arrested.

Security services uncovered an assassination attempt in Odesa: FSB agents planned a huge diversion, but they were timely caught by their partners from the SBU. An explosion was planned at the ammonium nitrate storage in the port - fortunately, the criminals did not get to the task. Two Russians face life imprisonment for such an attempt.

Case Events

SBU employees detained two hostile agents who were preparing a missile strike on the ammonium nitrate storage in one of the ports. The plan was simple: to identify the presence of explosive fertilizers on the territory of the warehouse and launch rockets if they found them. The perpetrators of the crime are a local resident and his accomplice.

To carry out the assassination attempt, an informant worked at the port and monitored the arrival of goods. When he found the ammonium nitrate, he immediately informed his accomplices who were preparing the missile strike. Thus, the potential terrorist act was completed at an early stage.

Punishment for the Crime

The defendants have been charged under two articles of the Criminal Code: treason in a state of war and illegal handling of weapons or explosives. For these crimes, they face life imprisonment and confiscation of property. So far, the suspects remain in custody.

This news once again confirms Russia's active support for military actions against Ukraine and the danger posed by the neighboring country. Cooperation between special services is strengthening, making our country safer.
