The Romanian Intelligence Service has prevented a Russian sabotage at a company in Bucharest

The Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI) announced that, in cooperation with other institutions and foreign partner services, it prevented the commission of a new sabotage operation orchestrated by the Russian Federation on Romanian territory, which aimed to attack a company in Bucharest.

According to the SRI, two Ukrainian citizens under the direct coordination of the Russian secret services tried last week to set fire to the headquarters of the Ukrainian courier company Nova Post in the capital. The two Ukrainians arrived in Bucharest from Poland and deposited two packages at the Nova Post headquarters containing remotely initiated incendiary devices, concealed in headphones and car parts, as well as components for monitoring the location via GPS. SRI agents managed to identify the packages and defuse the devices. The data obtained confirms the connection of the two to an extensive network of saboteurs targeting European countries, controlled by the Russian secret services.
