According to the SBU, the attackers acted on the order of the Russian special services, which recruited them through Telegram channels in search of “quick money.” To carry out the terrorist attack, the detainees remotely set off an improvised explosive device near the building of the local police district administration.
According to the instructions of the Russian curators, they filled the explosives with nails and disguised them in a thermos, and detonated them “remotely” using a mobile phone. At the same time, the agents installed hidden video cameras on the spot, which recorded the detonation in real time.
Then, as a result of the explosion, one law enforcement officer who was at the scene was injured.
All five terrorists, who acted separately from each other, were arrested “on hot pursuit” in the regional center. Among them is a 46-year-old man from Kharkiv, who served two sentences for robbery and robbery.
According to the instructions of the occupiers, the recidivist bought components for explosives, which he then hid in a predetermined storage room.
Next, residents of Zhytomyr aged 15, 16, 18, and 20 years old performed enemy tasks. Two of them took these “components” from the cache and, according to the diagrams provided to them, made an explosive device in the rented apartment.
Two other accomplices installed video cameras near the state institution, planted explosives there and set them off.
