Two police officers have been injured in an explosion that authorities say was a terrorist act in the town of Bucha near the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. An explosion occurred on a residential street in the early hours of Monday. When police arrived at the site, a second blast took place, injuring two officers. Police arrested a 21-year-old local resident who they say was recruited online to carry out the two explosions. While specific platforms were not disclosed, a security source indicated that recruitment occurred through the online game World of Tanks. The suspect stated he was motivated by financial gain, being offered 25,000 hryvnias (approximately £450 or $570) for each blast. The Ukrainian security service SBU labeled him as a Russian agent, although police are still investigating recruitment links without confirming any direct connection to Russia. Footage of the suspect shows him claiming he was blackmailed into planting the explosives, with threats to his mother’s safety allegedly made by those communicating with him online. The explosions echoed through Bucha, alarming residents who initially thought it was a gas explosion. Local council reports included testimonies about a palpable shockwave and swift emergency responses. This incident aligns with a recent series of similar attacks across Ukraine, underscoring ongoing security concerns in the region.
