The moment two individuals were detained by the Federal Security Service in the closed city of Zelenogorsk on suspicions of planning to undermine critical communications infrastructure was recorded on video. The footage has circulated through media outlets referencing Life and Shot as sources. The event marks another instance in a series of allegations tied to sabotage attempts targeting key telecom assets, underscoring ongoing concerns about security in sensitive urban zones. [citation]
Earlier reports indicated that the two men were believed to be intent on disrupting the bases used by PJSC Rostelecom and JSC Transtelecom. Investigators have described the plan as involving illicit access to equipment and networks that would threaten communications integrity, with the operation reportedly coordinated through a third party.

According to the source, the suspects were observed attempting to obtain TNT sticks and other materials for the purpose of carrying out sabotage. Security forces intervened while the individuals were retrieving what the authorities have characterized as explosive devices, preventing a potentially serious disruption to services. The case has been filed under charges including attempting to acquire explosives as contraband and attempting to commit a terrorist act. [citation]
