NEW YORK, June 16. /TASS/. US special services uncovered "a coordinated terrorist plot" targeting this past weekend's UFC event at the White House, US Vice President JD Vance said.

The FBI and US law enforcement agencies stopped an alleged plot targeting the UFC America 250 event this weekend, Fox News reported earlier, citing officials. Five people were taken into custody, and as many as 23 people were identified as part of a potential network of plotters, the TV channel added.
