Russia's FSB claims to have detained two individuals, identified as Caucasus natives and alleged SBU agents, who were plotting drone attacks against a Moscow missile defense element and an energy facility. While the arrests indicate ongoing asymmetric warfare targeting critical infrastructure, details remain unverified and confidence in the claims is low due to state media sourcing.
