Ukrainian terror plot to bomb gas pipeline outside Moscow foiled – FSB | 29 Nov 2025 | Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has thwarted an alleged Ukrainian-orchestrated attempt to destroy a major natural gas pipeline in Moscow Region, the agency announced on Saturday. According to the FSB, Ukrainian intelligence recruited a 56-year-old Russian national to carry out the bombing… This month, the suspect’s handlers contacted him, instructing him to purchase a car and an electric drill. Kiev’s intelligence also supplied him with the coordinates of a dead drop where he retrieved homemade explosive devices disguised as construction glue tubes, the FSB stated. The man was caught red-handed as he was attempting to drill into the ground above the pipeline to plant the explosives. After carrying out the terror attack, the suspect was expected to leave Russia and return to Ukraine through third countries, the FSB added.
