The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has prevented series of terrorist attacks in Moscow planned by Daesh terrorist group.

According to the FSB, the attacks were planned by a senior Daesh commander in Turkey who had been put on an international wanted list by Tajik authorities.

"The activity of a terrorist cell consisting of citizens of Tajikistan and a citizen of Moldova, who planned to commit a series of resonant terrorist attacks in Moscow using improvised explosive devices of high capacity, has been terminated," the FSB said.
