The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) announced the thwarting of terrorist attacks against Jewish communities in Krasnoyarsk and Pyatigorsk.

Two individuals from a Central Asian country have been detained in Krasnoyarsk. According to the FSB, they were preparing to blow up a synagogue with a homemade explosive device.

In Pyatigorsk, Stavropol Krai, a Russian citizen has been detained on suspicion of plotting to arson a Jewish religious community building using Molotov cocktails.

A criminal case has been opened for preparing a terrorist attack. The FSB claims that the detainees declared their intention to protect the interests of Palestinians affected by the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, as well as to provoke ethnic strife and mass unrest in Russia.
