The Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council confirmed the explosion in Mykolaiv on February 14 that killed two people. However, the information that it was the "revenge" of the TCC for the mobilization of the victim's son is not true.
This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation.
Fake news was spread on social media that the woman allegedly deliberately blew herself up near the military in response to her son's mobilization. However, the LAC reports that the deceased had no children of mobilization age. She is survived by two sons, born in 2001 and 2011, and the older one is not a military man.
Such fakes are part of the information warfare. The Center emphasizes that Russian special services are actively recruiting Ukrainian citizens to carry out sabotage against the military and government agencies.
Do not trust unverified information and use only official sources!
