In Izmail, Odesa Oblast, aerial attacks left thousands without power and damaged the city's port infrastructure

The Security Service of Ukraine's counterintelligence service prevented a new attempt by Russian agents to carry out contracted terrorist attacks in Odesa region

An agent of the Russian special services was detained who tried to detonate two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in Izmail

One explosion was supposed to take place near the district TCR, and the other near another Defence Forces facility located nearby

The enemy hoped to kill as many military and civilian residents of the port city as possible

The SSU officers exposed the enemy's plan in advance and detained the agent red-handed when he was planting an IED in a flower garden near a defence building

The executor of the Russian "order" was a 27-year-old local car mechanic recruited by the enemy

Representatives of the enemy special service were going to activate the IED on their own

The ruscists instructed the agent to rent an apartment overlooking both sites of the planned attacks

The agent used the apartment not only to install cameras, but also to manufacture explosives, which he hid in fire extinguishers and stuffed with metal nuts for greater damage
