Russia's FSB has told pro-Kremlin media that its security forces allegedly prevented a terrorist attack on a Russian leader in Crimea.

According to reports published in Russian media, a group of three people were preparing to blow up a car. The FSS assured that the bombers were working on the order of the SBU.

Law enforcers said they seized an improvised explosive device from the men who tried to blow up the car, as well as a remote detonator that is supposed to be activated by a call.

According to one of the detainees, the plan was to blow up the entire motorcade.
