A Russian agent has been arrested in Dnipro for planning a terrorist attack on one of the city’s main streets.
This was reported by the SSU press service, according to Censor.NET.
Details
The perpetrator, acting on orders from the Russian Federation, had manufactured a homemade explosive device, concealed it in a rucksack and was due to carry it to the site of the planned terrorist attack.
The occupiers subsequently intended to detonate the bomb remotely via a call to the mobile phone to which the explosives were attached.
The SBU caught the agent red-handed as she prepared the IED in a rented flat and waited for instructions from her handler regarding the location to which it was to be taken.
Who was carrying out the Russian Federation’s orders?
To carry out the terrorist attack, the occupiers recruited a drug addict from the Zhytomyr region via a Telegram channel advertising "easy money".
They subsequently sent their accomplice to Dnipro, where she rented accommodation and received instructions from Russia on how to make an IED using improvised materials.
To detonate the device remotely, the suspect rigged the bomb with a mobile phone that allowed remote access for Russian special services.
During searches of the suspect’s temporary residence, explosives were seized, along with a smartphone containing evidence of collaboration with the occupiers.
She has now been charged with preparing a terrorist attack.
She is being held in custody without the right to bail. She faces up to 12 years’ imprisonment with confiscation of property.
