Overview
- Russia’s FSB named Lyubomir Korba, a Russian citizen in his 60s born in Ukraine’s Ternopil region, as the suspected gunman and said he was detained in Dubai and extradited after fleeing hours after the Feb. 6 attack.
- A Moscow court ordered Korba into custody on charges including attempting to kill a law enforcement officer and illegal weapons storage, according to TASS.
- Investigators said two alleged accomplices were identified, with Viktor Vasin detained in Moscow and Zinaida Serebritskaya believed to have crossed into Ukraine, as the search for organizers continues.
- The Investigative Committee reported recovering a Makarov pistol fitted with a silencer and three bullets at the scene, while state media aired footage of masked FSB officers escorting a blindfolded man off a jet.
- Lt. Gen. Vladimir Alekseyev underwent surgery and regained consciousness, and Russian officials have linked the case to efforts to derail Abu Dhabi talks led by the GRU chief, a narrative Ukraine rejects.
