FSB Captures Assassins Of Russian Naval Officer

Russian authorities have arrested two people they claim were involved in the assassination of a senior naval officer, Captain 1st Rank Valery Trankovsky, in Sevastopol last week. The Federal Security Service (FSB) says the operation was orchestrated by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU).

A Targeted Attack

Trankovsky, the deputy commander of the Azov branch of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, was killed in a dramatic explosion as he headed to work. According to the FSB, a bomb was planted under his vehicle and detonated remotely, killing him instantly. The incident occurred in Sevastopol, the base of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet and a key city in the Crimean Peninsula.

How the Plot Unfolded

The FSB claims to have identified the key players in the assassination. A woman reportedly tracked Trankovsky’s movements and passed the information to her accomplice, who planted and triggered the bomb. Both suspects are now in custody.
