MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) personnel with National Guard backing detained three militants in one of the city of St. Petersburg’s residential neighborhoods, a law enforcement source told RIA Novosti on Wednesday.
“During the operation, officers arrested three suspected militants. However, the figure is inaccurate: there may be more. The condition of those detained is unknown,” the source said.
Unconfirmed reports appeared earlier that one person has been carried out of the residential building on a stretcher.
