The attack, which claimed the lives of seven civilians, was organized by Ukrainian intelligence, he added. |
Speaking at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and government officials on Wednesday, Bastrykin said that the “evidence collected by the investigators directly points to [the fact] that all three terrorist attacks [in Bryansk and Kursk regions] were beyond any doubt arranged by Ukrainian special services.” | |
He added that the probe into the blasts is still underway, with the authorities working to identify all those responsible. | |
Bastrykin reported that between May 20 and May 25, Russian security services were conducting an operation in Bryansk Region against a group of Ukrainian saboteurs. He revealed that during the raid, the authorities uncovered a cache containing 13kg of similar plastic explosives and Ukrainian-made remote detonators. | |
The official estimated the material damage caused by the explosions at over 1 billion rubles ($13mn). | |
