Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) and National Police have detained two repeat offenders who were allegedly preparing terrorist attacks in the center of Kyiv on behalf of Russia. The attackers reportedly planned to target military recruitment centers (TCC) using methods such as grenade launchers, Molotov cocktails, grenades, and improvised explosive devices.

According to the SBU, the perpetrators were a resident of the Chernihiv region, previously convicted of murder, and his accomplice from the Sumy region. They intended to involve a third individual, currently abroad, in the plot. The SBU apprehended the suspects during reconnaissance of potential targets, finding a combat grenade in one of their vehicles. The detained individuals face up to 12 years in prison.
