RIA Novosti writes about this, referring to law enforcement officers. The FSB confirmed the message. The service indicated that the attackers tried to disable the substation of the main course of the Trans-Siberian railway. A canister with gasoline, a household gas cylinder and a burner and other items were seized from them. The FSB department opened a criminal case under the article on attempted sabotage.
