The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has prevented a terrorist attack in the center of Kyiv.
An advisor to the SBU chairman, Markiyan Lubkivsky, said this at a briefing on Friday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“SBU has managed to prevent an awful tragedy in downtown Kyiv, a terror attack that was to be perpetrated just recently,” Lubkivsky said.
He said that resident of Luhansk Anastasia Kovalenko, who had a bomb in her bag, had been detained on suspicion of trying to commit the attack.
“Kovalenko arrived by bus from Luhansk in Kyiv on December 17. Our operational workers have already had information about her arrival,” Lubkivsky said.
