This is reported by the press services of the SBU and the National Police.
Kyiv region. Law enforcement officers have detained a man from the city of Irpin — he is suspected of preparing to blow up one of the military personnel in the city of Bucha. The suspect is 31 years old and has previously been repeatedly brought to criminal responsibility for robbery.
According to the pre-trial investigation, the man made a homemade bomb on the instructions of his supervisor and studied the military manʼs daily schedule and travel routes to eliminate him. The suspect was detained at his place of residence.
Lviv. The SBU cyber specialists prevented a series of terrorist attacks that were to take place near the local buildings of the Trade Center and the Joint Stock Company and the Main Railway Station.

Law enforcement officers caught a man red-handed while he was planting explosives near a train station.
