Head of the republic Sergei Aksyonov, Chairman of the Parliament Konstantinov V.A. and Mayor of the city of Yalta Pavlenko Ya. P., as well as elements of the transport infrastructure of the peninsula, were chosen as targets of attacks," the FSB said in a statement, Sputnik reported.
Roman Mashovets, the deputy head of the Ukrainian president's office, organized the terrorist attacks and coordinated preparations to murder high-ranking officials in Crimea, the statement read, adding that the FSB detained six citizens of Russia and Ukraine, as well as another one with dual Ukrainian and Bulgarian citizenship.
