Turkish security forces captured the terrorist who carried out a bomb attack in Russia in southern Muğla province, Interior Minister Yerlikaya said Wednesday.
The minister said the terrorist, identified as Evgenii Serebryakov, was detained in the Bodrum district. He carried out a bomb attack in Russia, injuring two people.
Yerlikaya said on X that Russian Interpol officials contacted Türkiye's Interpol/Europol Department at 10.30 a.m., reporting that Serebriakov had arrived in Türkiye on a Moscow-Bodrum flight.
Russian Interpol officials said that the car bomb attack carried out in Moscow on Wednesday resulted in two injuries.
Investigations revealed that Serebriakov entered Türkiye through Bodrum Airport in Muğla province at 9.40 a.m. but was not recognized because he was not listed in the Interpol International Wanted Persons Database and had no active UYAP (National Judiciary Informatics System) record, Yerlikaya said.
