The FSB said the suspected target was a facility used by Russian law enforcement authorities.
A bomb was reportedly discovered in the woman’s rucksack and subsequently defused.
The claims could not be independently verified.
Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the FSB has repeatedly reported thwarting alleged attacks and detaining individuals accused of acting on behalf of Ukrainian intelligence.
