In Lviv, police detained three men from the eastern and northern regions who were filming a military unit and probably preparing an explosive device. This was reported to the patrol police.
An employee of one of the services in Lviv noticed a man who was filming a military unit through a window. Then policemen calculated the location of the apartment from which suspicious actions were carried out. According to residents of neighbouring apartments, three men lived there. They behaved aggressively after being forced to open the door. In the apartment, police found drugs of plant origin and substances from which explosives are made.
According to the police, the saboteurs were two 37-year-old residents of the eastern regions of Ukraine and a 42-year-old resident of the northern region. Suspicious men were detained in accordance with Art. 208 (Detention by an authorized person) of the CPC of Ukraine. Law enforcement officers also establish their involvement in other illegal actions.
It will be recalled that the Security Service of Ukraine in Lviv Oblast and Lviv Mayor Andrii Sadovyi asks residents to report suspicious persons or equipment who may prepare for organizing sabotage.
