The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has thwarted a potential terrorist attack in Kyiv, preventing a planned explosion at a central cafe. A female suspect was arrested after plotting to carry out the attack on Russian orders, according to SBU reports.
According to the SBU, the attack was part of a broader campaign of sabotage and destabilization by Russian special services operating in Ukraine. The suspect, who is currently under investigation, was detained following a coordinated operation by counterintelligence units. This incident highlights the persistent threat posed by foreign-backed terrorism in the country.
The arrest of the woman marks another success for Ukrainian counterintelligence in its efforts to combat Russian aggression. Officials have emphasized that the threat remains significant, and further action is necessary to ensure the safety of civilians in Kyiv and other regions.
