Russian security services (FSB) said Sunday they killed "terrorists" who were planning an attack near the city of Saratov in southwest Russia. The incident came a week before Russia's presidential election on March 18 and three months before the country hosts the 2018 World Cup.
"Following an investigation and searches in the region of Saratov, the FSB foiled a planned terrorist attack by members of a secret terrorist cell," the FSB said in a statement. "There was an exchange of gunfire between the security forces and the criminals during which they were fatally wounded," it added, without specifying the number of people killed.
