Three Russian FSB officers died and a fourth was hospitalized in intensive care after being poisoned by food and alcohol delivered from a restaurant in occupied Melitopol.

Four Russian FSB officers were poisoned after ordering food and alcoholic beverages for delivery from a restaurant in occupied Melitopol at the end of last week. Three officers died in the hospital, and the fourth is now in intensive care (ICU).

Arsenic and rat poison were allegedly added to the food at some point, either at the restaurant or during delivery, in doses large enough to be lethal.

The restaurant where the food and alcohol were delivered was searched, and no traces of poisons were found. At the same time, the courier who delivered the food and alcohol disappeared without a trace.

Ukraine's Defence Forces continued offensive operations on the Melitopol front in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, inflicting losses on Russian forces.
