Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) reported that a student was preparing to detonate a bus carrying military personnel in Rivne on behalf of Russia. According to the SBU, the agent installed a disguised camera with remote access for Russian special services near a parking lot to monitor the boarding of military personnel.
