Quote from Positko: "The individual who was killed had been delivering items to a serviceman at the military enlistment office... Regarding the four people who were injured, we know that two are Military Medical Board doctors – they are in a moderate condition. One was a passer-by, and one is a serviceman."

Details: Vyhivskyi explained that a man approached the military enlistment office checkpoint carrying a bag, claiming it was a delivery. The explosion happened at that instant.

He confirmed that four people had been hurt and the perpetrator was killed.

The police chief stated that this is the ninth such attack.

Vyhivskyi said the Russian secret services have been behind recent explosions and assassination attempts near military enlistment offices, their objective being to destabilise Ukrainian society by instilling negative sentiments towards the security and defence forces.
