Russian authorities have claimed to have stopped an assassination attempt on Russian president Vladimir Putin.
The Federal Protection Service (FSO) said explosives were laid under a bridge that the Russian leader was expected to travel across.
Telegram channel VChK-OGPU has said authorities suspected a barge was involved in setting the trap for Putin’s motorcade. The Daily Star reports the boat is believed to be on a route from the Kremlin and Putin’s official residence outside of Moscow.
