The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has intensified its counter-terrorism operations, recently foiling several planned attacks. In Rivne, a Russian agent plotted an explosion targeting government infrastructure, but was apprehended before executing the plan. Similarly, an attack near the Stryi District TCR in the Lviv region was prevented with the swift detention of suspects. These incidents underscore the persistent threat of terrorism, emphasizing the need for ongoing vigilance and proactive measures to safeguard public safety and national security. The SSU's proactive interventions have become a crucial defense line against terrorist threats within Ukraine.
