The Security Service of Ukraine thwarted the preparation of a terrorist attack near an administrative building in Dnipro: a Russian agent was detained

This was reported by the Security Service of Ukraine.

As a result of complex measures, a Russian agent was detained, who was planning to destroy the administrative building of one of the law enforcement agencies in the city center.

According to the investigation, a 29-year-old woman from Vinnytsia, previously drug-addicted, attracted the attention of Russian special services during her search for "easy money" on Telegram.

After recruitment, she was sent to Pavlohrad, where she received an improvised explosive device (IED).

The agent later moved to Dnipro, where she rented an apartment and conducted reconnaissance near the target. She set up a cache with explosives and passed the coordinates to her handlers.

The plan was for another operative to collect the IED, place it near the law enforcement building, and detonate it.

The SSU prevented the threat - the explosive device was seized and neutralized, and the woman was detained while attempting to flee the city.

The perpetrator was captured at a checkpoint when she tried to leave on a bus to Odesa.
