The bombs were supposed to detonate when the package was opened.
Federal Security Service (FSB) officers discovered five parcels with homemade bombs at the Chelyabinsk airport that were intended for Russian military personnel and officials “providing assistance to military units” in Ukraine, The Moscow The Moscow Times reports.
The bombs were “camouflaged” as gift perfume sets that were supposed to detonate when the package was opened, the FSB Public Relations Center reported.
The FSB detained a 22-year-old resident of Pervouralsk in the Sverdlovsk region on suspicion of sending these parcels. According to the FSB, the man acted on instructions from the Ukrainian special services and agreed to send parcels with explosives to Moscow, Voronezh, the Krasnodar Territory and Saratov Region for $6,000. After that, a cache with several more such parcels was found in the city, which were intended for the military in the Tver, Rostov, Nizhny Novgorod and Kaluga regions. The special service published a video in which the man says that in 2024 he met a man named Anton from Ukraine on the Internet. He first asked the detainee to collect information about Russian military personnel at the Engels airbase and employees of the military-industrial complex in Yekaterinburg, and then reported a cache in Chelyabinsk, which contained mined parcels with perfume.
A case has been opened against the detainee under Part 1 of Article 222.1 (illegal acquisition, storage, transportation of explosives). The security forces are also considering opening a case under Part 3 of Article 30, Part 2 of Article 205 (attempted terrorist attack).
