According to the occupiers' plan, two explosive devices were to detonate in Mykolaiv: the first - near the administrative building of the regional TCC, the second - after the arrival of rescuers and police. The agents acted separately but were connected through a common Russian handler.
What is known about the perpetrators
One of the detainees is a 38-year-old resident of Kirovohrad region, whom the FSB recruited after his anti-Ukrainian comments on social networks. His task was to prepare explosives and hide them in caches. The other agent is an 18-year-old young man from Kyiv region, who was looking for "easy money" in pro-Russian Telegram channels.
