Overview
- Russia's FSB says it detained a German woman in Pyatigorsk, a southern city in the Stavropol region, over a plan to bomb a security facility.
- The agency reports specialists found and disabled an explosive in her backpack that included about 1.5 kilograms of TNT.
- Officials say a suspect from a Central Asian country recruited her under Ukrainian direction, with the woman cast as an unwitting victim.
- Investigators say both detainees confessed to an attempted terrorist attack.
- The account has not been verified by independent sources, which echoes a wartime pattern of hard-to-check FSB claims linking plots to Ukraine.
