Ukrainian couple charged in Russian-linked bomb plot
The Security Service of Ukraine detained a couple on Thursday who had built a bomb used in a terrorist attack inspired by Russia. The detained 37-year-old is a deserter who previously served in the Ukrainian army.
The bomb, constructed by the 37-year-old and his 25-year-old wife, was used in an attack carried out in Dnipro on December 14, 2024. One person was killed, and four were injured.
The couple, acting on the orders of Russian services, hid the device in a designated location and then observed its pickup by the perpetrator of the attack.
After the attack, the couple moved to another apartment, attempting to cover their tracks. They were detained at their new address, where evidence of their contacts with Russian services was found, including instructions on producing explosives.
Charges for the Ukrainian couple. They built a bomb
Both have been charged with preparing a terrorist act. They are currently in custody. Ukrainian services continue efforts to clarify the circumstances of the attack fully.
