An explosion occurred in an administrative building of the district police department in Rivne; one police officer was killed, and three other law enforcement officers were injured.


This was reported by the Rivne Regional Police Press Office.

“Police are working at the scene of the explosion in the district police department’s administrative building in Rivne. So far, one police officer is known to have been killed. Three other law enforcement officers were injured. All emergency services are on the scene. Law enforcement officials are investigating the circumstances and causes of the explosion,” the official statement said. 

As a reminder, the Security Service of Ukraine had warned citizens about the methods used by Russian special services to recruit people via social media and messaging apps to carry out arson, sabotage, and terrorist attacks.

The Security Service of Ukraine announced the exposure and arrest of two FSB agents who, according to the investigation, were preparing a series of terrorist attacks in the Kharkiv region. One of their objectives was an attempt to carry out a mass killing of Ukrainian military personnel under the guise of a “charity” party.

In the Kyiv region, a court sentenced an FSB agent to 15 years in prison with confiscation of property for passing on the coordinates of air defense units protecting Kyiv to the occupiers.
