The SBU detained an FSB agent who was preparing missile strikes on the Rivne region

The security service prevented a series of missile and drone attacks by the aggressor on the military and critical infrastructure of the Rivne region.

As a result of a special operation, an FSB agent was detained in the regional center, who was preparing coordinates for an enemy attack.

While driving his own car, he drove around the city and at the same time recorded possible locations of the Defense Forces on his mobile phone camera.

In this way, the person involved hoped to scout out the locations of potential targets, including military hospitals.

SBU employees received information about the intelligence activity of the agent in advance and documented each of his "steps" step by step.

This made it possible to secure the deployment points of the Defense Forces and to detain the suspect "in the act" when he was conducting reconnaissance near the Ukrainian defenders.

A gadget was seized from the detainee's car, on which he secretly filmed military objects of the Defense Forces.

According to the investigation, the enemy accomplice turned out to be a native of the temporarily occupied Crimea. He had been living in Rivne for a long time, where he was engaged in international transportation of commercial cargo.

Before the start of the full-scale war, the man regularly visited the Ukrainian peninsula, where his relatives stayed. During one of these trips, the figure was recruited by an employee of the occupying "FSB office in Crimea and the city of Sevastopol."

After February 24, 2022, it remotely "activated" its agent to carry out intelligence and subversive activities for the benefit of the Russian Federation.

In addition to pointing Russian missiles at the territory of the Rivne region, he also monitored the movement of military convoys with heavy equipment of the Armed Forces along the highways of the western region.

The perpetrator is in custody. He faces life imprisonment.
