Law enforcers detained three Russian agents aged 21-22 who staged a terrorist attack near the shopping center in Pavlohrad. The perpetrators detonated an improvised explosive device for a promised reward from Russian special services.

The perpetrators detonated an improvised explosive device (IED) near the building of the shopping center in Pavlohrad. As a result, a 24-year-old serviceman sustained shrapnel wounds.

“In this way, the Russian special services tried to discredit the activities of the TCC and disrupt mobilization in the region, sowing distrust in the military,” the SBU said.

In Dnipro and Odesa region, law enforcement officers reportedly “detained all members of the agent group during the day.

“They turned out to be three men aged 21 and 22 who were looking for “easy” money on telegram channels. There they were remotely recruited by representatives of Russian special services, offering money in exchange for cooperation,” the SBU said.

According to the SBU, one of the agents, a resident of Pavlohrad, “made an IED on his own” following instructions from his supervisor. Then, as indicated, the suspect hid it in a cache near his own house.

“It was found that the explosives were stuffed with nails and nuts to increase the impact of the destruction during detonation,” the special service said.

According to the SBU, two other suspects, residents of Odesa region, came to Pavlohrad, where they received the coordinates of the cache. “From there, they took a package with explosives and planted it near the building of the shopping center,” the special service said.

Opposite the facility, the attackers, according to the SBU, installed a hidden video camera that was supposed to record the aftermath of the terrorist attack.

“After that, the occupants remotely activated the IED by calling a cell phone,” the statement said.
