Blast that injured two was 'terrorist attack', Ukrainian authorities say
- On March 23, 2026, two law enforcement officers were injured in a Russian-orchestrated terrorist attack in Bucha, Ukraine. The Security Service of Ukraine detained the 21-year-old suspect "within a few hours" after he detonated two IEDs in the town.
- Russian intelligence services recruited the suspect online through a computer game, then blackmailed him by threatening his mother with a drone. The SBU reported he followed instructions to build the two IEDs, activating them via mobile phone.
- Utilizing a "double-tap" tactic, the perpetrator planted one explosive under a building bench and the other near a garbage container. A second blast targeted police and first responders arriving after the initial 5:35 a.m. explosion.
- The Kyiv Regional Military Administration reported the two injured officers were hospitalized with moderate injuries and remain in stable condition. Authorities continue investigating as part of a broader series of Russian-linked attacks across Ukraine.
- This incident mirrors previous Russian-backed terrorist attacks, including a February 22 blast in Lviv that killed one officer and injured more than 20 people. Additional explosions recently injured seven officers in Mykolaiv and damaged a Dnipro police building.
