The president has ordered the security services to tighten up protection of educational and other social facilities
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered security to be ramped up at educational and other civic facilities across the country, stressing that Russia's adversaries do not "shy away" from terrorist methods.
Speaking at a meeting with government officials on Wednesday, Putin cited the recent Ukrainian drone attack on a college dorm in the Russian town of Starobelsk which killed at least 21 people, mainly teenage girls.
"Our adversaries don't shy away from terrorist attacks. I'm referring, among other things, to the attack on the student dormitory at the pedagogical college in Starobelsk," the president stated.
"I once again urge the heads of the special services and all law enforcement agencies to strengthen counterterrorism measures and security in general across the entire educational, social, and infrastructure systems," he added.
