Russia says foreign-backed terrorists are preparing to stage a series of acts of sabotage and terror attacks in Syria's northwestern province of Idlib to implicate Syrian and Russian military forces.

Russia says it thwarted a plot by Ukrainian intelligence agencies to carry out sabotage and terrorism on the South Stream gas pipeline that supplies Russia’s natural gas to the European continent.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said “British specialists” blew up the pipelines in a “terrorist attack.”

A preliminary report released by Danish police says "powerful explosions" caused the rupture of the gas pipeline.

“The act of sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 is an act of international terrorism aimed at undermining energy security of the entire continent.”

The Nord Stream pipelines that Russia and its former European partners spent billions of dollars building has been damaged.

Iranian security forces dismantle an espionage network linked to the Israeli regime’s spy agency, Mossad, and arrest all its members.
