A student who came from Kyiv to Rivne tried to blow up a bus with a unit of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) inside. This information is provided by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in the Telegram channel.

“I planted a homemade bomb under a bus in which Ukrainian soldiers were being transported. Opposite the parking lot... he installed a telephone camera with remote access disguised in a juice box,” the message states.

The department added that the attacker was detained at the bus station. It turned out that he intended to destroy an entire unit of military personnel “during its departure to a point of permanent deployment.”

“The explosives were reinforced with two glass bottles with flammable liquid to increase the destructive effect... The detainee was charged under the article ‘completed attempt at a terrorist act,’” the SBU statement said.

The man faces up to 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
