Russia's FSB announced the seizure of a batch of booby-trapped FPV goggles, which, according to the agency, were intended for Russian drone operators. The explosives, it is claimed, were installed by Ukrainian special services, and detonation was supposed to occur when the goggles were turned on. The scheme resembles Israel's operation against Hezbollah in September 2024, when pagers and radios massively exploded. The FSB claims that Ukrainian agents posed as supporters of Russia on Telegram, offered 'help' and sent the goggles via 'Russian Post'.
