Details: According to the investigation, a 36-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman made an improvised explosive device in their own home on the instructions of enemy special services.
For the conspiracy, they purchased components for SVP over the Internet and ordered their delivery to different addresses.
The enemy’s target was fuel tanks located on railway tracks near one of the factories in Dnipro. The traitors were promised a reward of 3,000 dollars for completing the “task”.
On January 8, 2025, the suspects planted explosives near a fuel tank on a railway platform in one of the Dnipro districts and planned to activate it.
Thanks to the prompt work of the law enforcement officers, the crime was prevented.
Both suspects were detained. Detonation devices, explosive device components, mobile phones and SIM cards were seized during the searches.
It is known that the woman had previously been in the field of law enforcement: on December 31 of last year, according to a court verdict, she was found guilty of selling drugs and sentenced to probation for 3 years, the police say.
The perpetrators are currently in custody.
