| It’s not clear to me whether the terrorists here are Ukrainians/supporters of Ukrainian independence or jihadis. I understand not wanting to name bad guys so as not to give their cause more attention, but it really is counterproductive for those of us trying to track what’s going on. Do you discern clues here that I am missing in my ignorance, dear Reader? |
[RIA Novosti] In the Stavropol Territory, a counter-terrorist operation regime was introduced within the boundaries of the Petrovsky farm, the FSB department for the region reported.
"On February 8 at 20 o'clock <...> in order to suppress and disclose a terrorist act, a decision was made to conduct a counter-terrorist operation and introduce a CTO legal regime for the period of its implementation within the boundaries of the Petrovsky farm of the Soviet urban district," the statement says.
| Does Soviet have another meaning other than the defunct communist Soviet Union? |
Recently, Ukrainian sabotage attempts have become more frequent in Russia. So, at the end of December, the FSB detained a Ukrainian migrant in the North Caucasus, who, as he himself admitted, was planning to stage a terrorist attack. A few days earlier, two militants who were preparing a terrorist attack in Chegem on the instructions of the Ukrainian special services were killed in Kabardino-Balkaria.
At the end of last year, Vladimir Putin signed a law punishing up to life imprisonment for the creation of sabotage communities, financing and propaganda of sabotage.
