Terrorist attack prevention measures urged by Chelyabinsk governor Texler
In the Chelyabinsk Region, recent terrorist threats have surfaced, with individuals promoting terrorism and being linked to armed sabotage activities. A resident of the region was sentenced to 5.5 years in prison for public calls to commit terrorist attacks, including the murder of government officials [5]. Additionally, a 55-year-old truck driver from Chelyabinsk, Mikhail Ryumin, was arrested and charged with participating in a terrorist act related to the launch of Ukrainian drones targeting Russian military airfields [2][4].
Federal Security Service (FSB) has been actively detaining suspects involved in terrorism-related activities, including those making public calls for attacks or directly participating in sabotage [5]. Convicted individuals, such as the Chelyabinsk resident, are being sentenced, with a 5.5-year prison sentence imposed for inciting terrorism [5]. The authorities are also increasing investigative and preventive operations to arrest and prosecute those connected to terrorist and sabotage acts, coordinating across multiple regions including Chelyabinsk [5].
Governor Alexei Teksler has issued instructions to combat terrorist threats, which were discussed in a meeting of the regional anti-terrorist commission. The meeting also focused on the improvement of terrorism prevention measures. Special attention will be given to the security of events marking September 1, the safety of shopping centers and transportation infrastructure, and the security of voting stations ahead of the elections scheduled for September 12-14 [1][2][3].
Additional measures will be taken to protect educational institutions during the new academic year. Governor Teksler has encouraged citizens to subscribe to the telegram channels "Chelyabinsk that can" and "Steel Magnitogorsk" for the latest news [6].
It's worth noting that the enemy is employing advanced technology and various methods to cause damage to critical infrastructure. Recent terrorist attacks in the country have used unmanned aerial vehicles [7]. The regional anti-terrorist commission has been tasked with analysing the security of voting stations, shopping centers, transportation infrastructure, and educational institutions [1][2][3].
While direct statements or specific countermeasure announcements by Governor Teksler regarding these threats were not found in the search results, the available information highlights the active role of federal law enforcement agencies and the regional government in addressing the terrorist threats within the Chelyabinsk region. For more detailed statements from Governor Teksler, further official regional government sources or recent press releases would need to be consulted.
