The city of Odessa witnessed a disturbing and unexpected incident when an explosion occurred involving a vehicle on Varna Street. According to the National Police of Odessa region, a Mazda Opel car exploded, resulting in injuries to a man who was inside the vehicle. Details of the incident are still being clarified; however, it is known that the victim was immediately hospitalized for medical assistance. Investigators from the scene, including bomb experts, are working diligently to establish all circumstances surrounding the explosion. Meanwhile, in another high-profile case in Dnipro, two men, acting under orders from Russian special services, sabotaged and detonated a car belonging to a prosecutor. Law enforcement promptly detained the suspects, and they have now been formally charged with terrorism offenses under Article 258 of the Ukrainian Criminal Code. A preventive measure in the form of detention has been selected for them by the court. These events highlight the urgent need to strengthen security measures and to intensify investigations of such crimes to protect citizens and ensure safety in increasingly complex situations.
