Russia's FSB security services said Friday it had detained a man for plotting a rail bombing in annexed Crimea.
The FSB said the suspect — a Russian citizen in his mid-40s — had been "collecting information on the deployment of Russian Defense Ministry facilities and units" and was preparing a railway bombing.
"In а hiding place [the man] had organized, [law enforcement officers] found and seized an improvised explosive device built using foreign-made plastic explosives," it said.
Authorities said the man had been acting on the "instructions of Ukrainian military intelligence" and had been remanded in custody.
The Kremlin-appointed governor of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, warned that transport infrastructure had become a main target for "terrorism" and that Ukrainian saboteurs would be punished.
"An unenviable fate awaits the Ukrainian agents. They will be found and punished," he said.
He later said a Ukrainian drone had been shot down over the north of the peninsula but did not report any further details.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
