The Security Service of Ukraine jointly with the National Police detained a 16-year-old agent of Russian special services who was planning a terrorist attack in the centre of Zhytomyr.

As noted, on the instructions of Russian curators, the young man made an improvised explosive device (IED) according to the instructions received, disguised it in a backpack and went to the city, being in constant contact with a Russian agent. The explosion was to be activated remotely upon notification of arrival.
