Russia says it foils a plot to bomb telecoms watchdog leaders, Interfax says

Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Friday that it had foiled a plot to bomb senior officials at the telecoms watchdog, the Interfax news agency reported.

The FSB said the leader of the group was shot dead while resisting arrest. A total of seven people were detained, the FSB said. The FSB said searches had found links to Ukrainian paramilitary units during searches.

"On 18 April 2026, a terrorist attack against Roskomnadzor officials, planned by detonating a vehicle using an explosive device, was foiled," the FSB was quoted as saying.

Reuters was unable to immediately verify the details of the statement.
