The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has claimed to have foiled an attempt by Ukrainian intelligence to attack a military airfield in central Russia with drones loaded with explosives. The target of the attack was an A-50 radar detection plane at the Severnyy aerodrome in the Ivanovo region, some 700 km from the Ukrainian border. The FSB said its agents had foiled the attack in collaboration with the interior ministry and detained the pilot of a light aircraft and other members of what it called a "sabotage group" in Tula region after flying in from Ukraine.
