Two people were injured in the terrorist attack, and the man arrived in our country aboard a Moscow-Bodrum flight <…> He was detained in Bodrum by the police of Mugla province," the minister wrote on his X page.

The Turkish interior minister said that Serebryakov arrived in Bodrum at 9:40 a.m. local time. He was not immediately identified since he was not on Interpol’s international wanted list.
