A Kharkiv resident, a member of the Kharkiv Partisans group, was planning to stage a terror attack on May 1, Markiyan Lubkivsky, an advisor to the chief of the Security Service of Ukraine, has said.
“As part of large-scale counter-terror measures conducted jointly with the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Interior Ministry, the Security Service has foiled a plot to stage a terror attack in Kharkiv on May 1. A local resident was held there as he was trying to commit the attack. The man is a member of Kharkiv Partisans, also known as Cat,” Lubkivsky wrote on his Facebook page on May 2.
The mobster was arrested as he was trying to plant a bomb with a fuze on the fortified structures of Kharkiv’s third line of defense, Lubkivsky said.
A search of Cat’s garage led to a discovery and seizure of six TNT bombs, various detonators, including with an alarm clock.
