Blast in Putin’s Convoy Near FSB Headquarters

Moscow : A major security scare unfolded in Moscow as an explosion hit a vehicle in Russian President Vladimir Putin’s convoy near the Federal Security Service (FSB) headquarters. The incident occurred late at night, raising concerns about the safety of the Russian leader amid heightened geopolitical tensions. Reports indicate that Putin was unharmed, as he was not inside the targeted vehicle at the time of the blast.

Authorities have launched an immediate investigation into the explosion, with security forces tightening surveillance around key government buildings. The Kremlin has not released an official statement, but intelligence agencies suspect potential sabotage or an attack aimed at destabilizing the Russian administration. Sources claim that FSB operatives are analyzing surveillance footage and questioning witnesses to determine the cause and perpetrators behind the attack.

The explosion comes shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a bold statement, predicting that Putin’s death could be imminent. Given the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and escalating tensions, speculation is rife about possible involvement from external or internal dissident groups. Some analysts believe the incident could be part of a larger strategy to intimidate or provoke the Russian leadership.

The attack underscores the increasing risks surrounding high-profile political figures, especially amid conflicts involving Russia and Western nations. If confirmed as an assassination attempt, this could mark a significant escalation in geopolitical hostilities. As global powers monitor the situation closely, the Kremlin is expected to reinforce security measures around key government figures.

While no official attribution has been made yet, Russian authorities are on high alert. More details are expected as the investigation unfolds.
