A 55-year-old logistics manager in Tomsk made a frightening discovery when an item was spotted beneath his Land Rover by another motorist who pointed it out. The report originated from the Telegram channel Baza.
According to the account, the Land Rover was carrying a child to kindergarten when another driver honked and signaled that there was a blue object under the vehicle. The driver of the Land Rover stopped the car, alerted authorities, and waited for law enforcement to arrive.
Law enforcement officers, including riot police and the Federal Security Service, seized the items for examination. Investigators determined that the object was a makeshift explosive crafted using a portion of TNT and a fuse, affixed to the undercarriage of the car with magnets. The vehicle’s owner claimed he always parked the Land Rover near his residence and stated that he did not have any known enemies who could have planted an improvised explosive device in his car. The details were reported with attribution to the Telegram source, noted as Baza.
Officials emphasized the importance of public vigilance and urged drivers to report anything suspicious beneath or around vehicles. The incident prompted a broader review of security measures in the area, with authorities outlining steps for residents to follow if they encounter comparable situations. While the investigation continues, authorities reaffirmed that such devices pose a serious threat and require urgent response by trained personnel. The report on this event fits into a pattern of security concerns in the region, though specifics about motives or suspects remain undisclosed to the public for now. [Source: Baza Telegram channel]
