On February 14, police investigators in Odesa opened proceedings over a death threat and illegal handling of weapons found in the car of a city businessman. The incident occurred on Pedagogichna Street. The businessman himself reported to the police about the explosives he found in his car. The police arrived at the scene and found a hand grenade fuse in the car's exhaust pipe.

On February 6, an explosion occurred in Odesa near a residential building on Akademika Korolyova Street. The driver of the car was killed. The Security Service, together with the National Police, took comprehensive measures to establish all the circumstances of the incident and the persons involved.
