Russia Detains Teenager Planning 'Terror Attack' Following US Intelligence Tip-off

Russian security services have detained a teenager suspected of planning a terrorist attack on a major museum in Moscow, following an intelligence tip-off from the United States. Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) announced the arrest, publicly expressing gratitude to the U.S. for the provided information. The alleged plot targeted the Tsaritsyno Museum Reserve in the Russian capital.

The arrest came after the U.S. Embassy in Moscow issued a security alert on Saturday, warning of a credible threat of a mass casualty event at the Tsaritsyno Museum. The FSB reported that the unnamed minor had posted images on TikTok wearing tactical clothing and holding an object resembling an automatic weapon, alongside photos taken at the museum with the caption "I found a place." Investigations also revealed the teenager subscribed to a neo-Nazi channel on Telegram and conducted numerous searches related to past terrorist acts and mass killings. Airsoft weapons were reportedly discovered at the suspect's residence.
