The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Monday that it had thwarted a series of terrorist attacks planned by the Ukrainian special services using bombs in FPV goggles to control drones sent to the special military operation area.

"The Federal Security Service of Russia prevented a series of sabotage and terrorist acts planned by the special services of Ukraine using improvised explosive devices ... embedded in FPV goggles to control drones, which, under the guise of humanitarian aid, were supposed to be delivered to the area of the special military operation by Russian servicemen," the FSB said in a statement. Improvised explosive devices were instead of cooling coolers in FPV goggles received from a volunteer by a military in the Volgograd region, the statement read, adding that bombs camouflaged under FPV goggles were sent by the special services of Ukraine to humanitarian organizations and charitable foundations to be sent to the special military operation zone.
