❗️** A double terrorist attack against law enforcement planned by Ukrainian special services has been prevented in Pyatigorsk; two Russian women have been detained.** First, a girl born in 2006 was detained as she approached one of the buildings of law enforcement agencies in Pyatigorsk; a homemade explosive device with a power of approximately 2 kg in TNT equivalent was found in her backpack. After this, heightened security measures were introduced and a search began for possible accomplices of the detainee. As a result, at the same time near the site of the terrorist attack, a Russian citizen born in 1979 was detained, who intended on the instructions of Ukrainian curators to deliver a similar device to the location of the first explosion at the moment when the investigative-operational group was working. The detainees gave confessional testimony that they acted on the assignment of representatives of Ukrainian special services, not assuming that they would be used as suicide terrorists. Criminal cases have been opened under Part 3 of Article 30, Part 2 of Article 205 of the Russian Criminal Code (attempted commission of a terrorist act), Part 3 of Article 222 of the Russian Criminal Code (illegal transportation of ammunition) and Part 1 of Article 223.1 of the Russian Criminal Code (illegal manufacture of explosive devices). 🎯 @opersvodki 💬 [OS in MAX](https://max.ru/opersvodki)
