MOSCOW, March 12. /TASS/. Ukrainian forces have targeted over 80 facilities of Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service (FSIN) since the start of the special military operation, said FSIN Director Arkady Gostev at the expanded board of the agency.

"During the special military operation, including due to an increase in the range and intensity of attacks by the neo-Nazi regime on Russian civilian infrastructure facilities, 47 buildings and structures in 16 institutions were subjected to such attacks with destruction and damage totaling about 15.5 million rubles," Gostev said. "In total, 87 facilities in 23 institutions were subjected to terrorist attacks with damage amounting to more than 27 million rubles, during which 14 people were injured and 5 died."

According to him, this required additional measures to evacuate more than 3,800 convicts, redeploy personnel, and suspend 7 institutions, so "even before the neo-Nazi invasion of the Kursk region, personnel, special forces, and special equipment were evacuated in advance from regional institutions." To date, 78 employees of the Federal Penitentiary Service in the Kursk region with their families remain in temporary accommodation facilities, with relatives in rented apartments.
