According to a report, three agents of the famous Russian security service FSB died in Ukraine after eating a takeaway laced with arsenic and rat poison.
A fourth officer was hospitalized after also eating the contaminated food in the occupied city of Melitopol, in the disputed Zaporizhzhia region.
The fatal mass poisoning took place late last week, when a group of FSB officers stationed in Melitopol ordered food and alcoholic beverages to be delivered to their home by one of the local restaurants, the Russian Telegram news channel Kremlevskaya Tabakerka reported.
Shortly after the officers finished their meal, the four were rushed to the hospital, where three of them died and the fourth was left clinging to life in the intensive care unit.
It has since been determined, according to the outlet citing anonymous sources in the FSB and law enforcement authorities, that the victims’ takeout order had been spiked with lethal doses of “arsenic and rat poison.”
It was suspected that “Ukrainian saboteurs” were behind the attack on the Russian invaders.

A search of the restaurant where the victims had ordered the food turned up no signs of poison, but the delivery man who delivered the takeout to the convicted FSB agents’ address “disappeared without a trace,” the outlet reported.
Ivan Fedorov, the Kiev-backed mayor of Melitopol in exile, confirmed the poisoning incident and attributed it to the work of resistance fighters in an interview with a Ukrainian television program.
“The elimination of the enemy is carried out not only by explosions and missile attacks, but also by resistance forces,” Fedorov said.

“The other day there was another group of enemies eliminated, specifically the poisoned ones. Enemy Telegram channels even write about this: they ordered food in a cafe and after eating it, everyone was poisoned and some died.”
“This is the effective resistance that continues to be exercised in Melitopol even under the occupation,” the mayor boasted.
The murder case also has a “mysterious detail,” according to police sources on the Telegram channel. They claim that a few days before the unfortunate meal, two of the attacked agents had opened an investigation into the secret burial of Russian sailors from the Black Sea Fleet in Melitopol.

It was reported last week how a grave discovered in a Melitopol cemetery was found to contain the mangled bodies of 17 sailors, who were supposedly killed in explosions and quietly buried in September.
The incident comes just weeks after dozens of Russian pilots narrowly escaped death after a huge cake and poisoned whiskey bottles were delivered to the Armavir Higher Military Aviation School in Russia’s Krasnodar region.
