MOSCOW, July 10. /TASS/. Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) planned a large-scale terrorist attack on a military airfield in Rostov-on-Don using AI-equipped FPV drones, Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said. The suspected perpetrator reported the planned attack to the authorities, and the operation was subsequently carried out under the FSB's control before being thwarted at the preparation stage.

TASS has compiled the key facts known so far.

Preventing the attack

- The FSB identified a Russian citizen in the Rostov Region sought by Ukraine's military intelligence to recruit to carry out a sabotage and terrorist attack in exchange for a monetary reward after blowing up the Rostov-Central military airfield.

- After receiving the offer from a GUR representative, the man voluntarily contacted the regional security service and reported the planned terrorist attack, the FSB said.
