News agencies, Voice of the Emirates – Russian security officials announced the thwarting of an assassination attempt targeting a high-ranking officer in a military unit, after discovering the use of a highly dangerous toxic mixture. The operation was described as “silent” and of a complex intelligence nature.

According to initial reports, the perpetrators attempted to gradually introduce a complex chemical substance into the officer’s body, making it difficult to detect and causing symptoms to resemble normal health problems. The investigation indicates that the method of preparation and the sophistication of the poison bear the hallmarks of a sophisticated intelligence operation.

Russian security sources suggested that Ukrainian elements were involved in the planning and execution of the attack, which Moscow describes as part of repeated attempts to target military leaders using unconventional methods. Doctors were able to save the officer’s life after detecting unusual biological indicators, leading to the discovery of poisoning moments before his condition deteriorated critically.

Russian authorities are conducting extensive investigations to determine the route of the toxic substance leak, at a time when mutual accusations between Moscow and Kyiv are escalating regarding the use of covert operations outside the framework of direct military confrontation.
