The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) prevented a terrorist attack in the center of Kyiv, announced Advisor to the Head of the SBU Markiyan Lubkivskiy at a briefing in Kyiv.
The explosive device was in a bag that a resident of Luhansk with the surname Kovalenko was carrying around in the area between the Ivan Franko National Academic Drama Theater and Maidan Nezalezhnosti, said Lubkivskiy. The bag contained 30 kilograms of TNT and if the device had exploded, the distance of the explosive shrapnel would have been up to 500 meters. “This would have caused mass casualties,” Lubkivskiy noted.
