Counterintelligence of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has detained two men on suspicion of organizing terrorist attacks in the Dnipropetrovsk region. They are called agents of Russian curators who ordered them to carry out at least two explosions in the city.
This was reported by the press service of SBU.
According to the case materials, the targets of the defendants were a pickup truck of a mobile fire group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, under which they wanted to plant explosives and detonate it using a phone attached to it, as well as the central entrance to the TRC
The SBU counterintelligence detained both men as they prepared the explosives and conducted further reconnaissance near the first “target”, a pickup truck of a mobile fire team. At the scene, they found 3 kg of explosives with a detonator and metal nuts hidden in a plastic canister.
The investigation revealed that the suspects were local residents, one of whom already had a criminal record for theft. They came to the attention of Russian intelligence officers while searching for “easy” money in Telegram channels.
