SSU Prevents Two Terrorist Attacks In Lviv, Attempts Made To Blow Up Military Personnel

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) According to Ukrinform, this was reported by the SSU .

As a result of preemptive actions, Ukrainian soldiers were saved, whom the Russians tried to remotely blow up using homemade explosive devices (HEDs).

To lure the soldiers to the site of the planned terrorist attack , the enemy used the insidious tactic of“inviting them on a date.”

To do this, Russian special services created fake female accounts on a popular social network, on behalf of which they got acquainted with potential targets.

Subsequently, two Defense Forces soldiers separately received invitations to meet at locations where explosives had been planted.

SSU cyber experts exposed this plan in advance, neutralized the HEDs, and secured the Ukrainian defenders whom the enemy was planning to blow up.

As the special service recalled, in the summer of this year in Kyiv, the SSU counterintelligence prevented a similar murder of a soldier of the National Guard of Ukraine. At that time, the Russians tried to blow up the soldier with explosives hidden in a scooter.

According to the case file, Russian special services remotely activated the HEDs when the soldier arrived at the arranged meeting place, where the motor scooter had been rigged with explosives.

During the investigation, a 19-year-old Kyiv resident who planted explosives in the vehicle was detained. It was established that the Russians recruited him in thematic Telegram channels for easy money.

Investigative and operational measures are ongoing to bring all those responsible to justice.
