Shooting near Odesa shopping center: police detain woman

Odesa's social media outlets report the detention of a woman with explosives on Kulikove Pole near the SEC building. According to Odesa digital resources, eyewitnesses heard sounds similar to gunshots, and later saw two law enforcement officers dragging a woman whose hands were handcuffed.

Intent asked the police for comment.

According to unconfirmed reports, the woman was allegedly preparing a terrorist attack against the military and civilians.

Earlier, we wrote that this winter in Odesa, the Security Service of Ukraine detained a woman whom it believed to be an agent of Russian military intelligence.

The suspect was a 32-year-old resident of Odesa who was remotely recruited by a career officer of the Russian special operations forces late last year. The SBU insists that on his instructions, the traitor set fire to a relay cabinet of a signal installation and a transformer substation on a local railway line.

In the south of our country, Russian agents began to manifest themselves more and more often. This was the case in Mykolaiv. The attacker received an order via a messenger. He purchased a flammable liquid in advance, poured it over the substation, set it on fire, and filmed his actions on his phone to report to his supervisor. After transmitting the video report and receiving a reward, the criminal deleted the files.

SBU cyber specialists detained two FSB agents who were preparing a Russian missile attack on a nitrate storage facility in one of the seaports of Odesa region.

"In the event of a 'positive response' from the informants, the Russian military was going to launch a missile strike on the facility, which was supposed to cause large-scale destruction," the statement said.
