Russia's FSB claimed on Saturday it arrested four teenage citizens who are accused of planting bombs across the city of Yekaterinburg, Russian-state news agency RIA reported.
The FSB said it had seized components for a homemade explosive device and that investigators in the Sverdlovsk region had opened a criminal case, agencies reported.
"The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation detained four Russian citizens, born in 2007 and 2008, who share the ideas of a terrorist organization banned in Russia and were planning to commit a terrorist act using a homemade explosive device in places where large numbers of citizens gather in the city of Yekaterinburg," the statement said.
Two of the four teenagers are also alleged to have been involved in an arson incident on a Russian official's car.
