The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) announced on Saturday the arrest of four teenagers accused of planning a terrorist attack in the city of Yekaterinburg. The suspects, born in 2007 and 2008, reportedly intended to use improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in crowded areas, according to an official statement.

"The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation detained four Russian citizens, born in 2007 and 2008, who share the ideas of a terrorist organization banned in Russia and were planning to commit a terrorist act using an improvised explosive device in places where large numbers of citizens gather in the city of Yekaterinburg," the statement read.  

Two of the individuals were also linked to the arson of a police vehicle belonging to the Sverdlovsk Region’s Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The FSB reported that components for an IED and communication devices with bomb-making instructions were found during the investigation.

Later, the FSB released footage showing two of the suspects confessing to their roles in the planned attack. One admitted being influenced by extremist content online.

"I subscribed to neo-Nazi channels on Telegram, and I read in those channels that it was necessary to take action against the police. While working as a delivery man, I once saw a police car parked at a car service station in one of the city districts, and I decided to set it on fire ... So we set it on fire, and I filmed it ... Then I thought of making explosives and testing them. I asked my friend to help me," he said.

The second suspect explained his involvement, stating his friend had asked him to make a timer, but did not say what for. "We came to his apartment, it was on January 1 or 2, and I made a timer for him and also helped him make explosives," he added.  

The first suspect disclosed that he had selected targets for testing the explosives but was apprehended before he could carry out the plans.
