Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) announced on Friday that they have arrested a man suspected of orchestrating a car bombing on orders from Ukraine. The suspect, Yevgeniy Serebryakov, was apprehended in Turkey following Russia's request for his detention.
The arrest came after a car bomb exploded in northern Moscow, injuring two individuals who had entered the vehicle. Reports indicate that the targeted car belonged to a high-ranking military intelligence officer.
The FSB presented a video showing the handcuffed suspect being escorted by masked officers upon his arrival in Russia from Turkey. According to Turkish authorities, Serebryakov was detained in Bodrum shortly after the car bombing in Moscow.
In a statement, the FSB claimed that the suspect confessed to carrying out the attack under the direction of Ukraine's intelligence agency. However, the veracity of these confessions, obtained under duress, remains unverified.
Ukrainian officials have vehemently denied any involvement in the incident, refuting the allegations made by the FSB. The escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine have further complicated the situation, with both sides trading accusations and counterclaims.
