Russia's FSB security force said Wednesday that it had killed two men from Central Asia suspected of preparing attacks, while trying to arrest them in the Vladimir region east of Moscow.
"As a result of clashes during attempted detention, two citizens of a Central Asian state were neutralized by FSB officers," the agency said in a statement.
The men, born in 1987 and 1991, "were in contact with recruiters from international terrorist organisations" and "showed an interest in techniques for homemade explosive devices and expressed readiness to commit terrorist attacks in Russia," the FSB said.
The agency said it found bomb-making ingredients and weapons during the raid in the Vladimir region, about 200 kilometers (125 miles) east of Moscow.
The FSB did not say whether the arrest attempt was linked to the April 3 attack on the Saint Petersburg metro that killed 14 people, which was allegedly carried out by a bomber born in Kyrgyzstan.
