Details of the Assassination Attempt in Irpin
According to the Polish Internal Security Agency (ABW), 63-year-old Serhiy P. planted a homemade explosive device under the car of a Ukrainian arms industry official in Irpin, Kyiv Oblast.
The investigation established that the perpetrator was acting on behalf of Russian intelligence services.
The device was supposed to be detonated remotely using a cell phone, but the explosion did not occur due to a malfunction in the mechanism.
