The FSB announced that it had prevented a terrorist attack against a defense industry business leader in the Moscow region, reports Interfax.

The agency did not name the company associated with the reported target, but noted that it manufactures products for Russia’s Defense Ministry.

According to the FSB, seven Russian nationals — residents of the Moscow, Sverdlovsk, and Perm regions — have been detained in connection with the planned attack. Three of them are minors. The agency says that the suspects are confessing.

The FSB reported that the suspects had staked out the industry leader’s parking spot, planting a homemade bomb underneath his car. Russia’s Investigative Committee said that the suspects were detained while placing the bomb.

The FSB adds that the suspects were working in concert with members of Ukraine’s security service. The Investigative Committee reports that the suspects were promised 1 million rubles.

The suspects have been charged with attempting a terrorist attack.
