On July 15, Russian special services prevented a series of terrorist attacks in the Kherson region. A group of pro-Ukrainian saboteurs was detained near the city of Kherson. The Ukrainian militants were involved in assassinations of the local officials and were preparing new attacks in the Kherson region which came under Russian control.
The group of Ukrainian saboteurs was intercepted at one of the block posts near the city. The footage from a drone showing the operation was shared by the Russian military. A car with one of the group members drives through a checkpoint, tries to escape, and then it was caught up and destroyed by the Special Forces with RPGs. As a result, the Ukrainian militant was killed. Weapons, communications equipment, the city map with notes and the book “Mein Kampf” were found in the car.
After the incident, a group of Ukrainian saboteurs was detained. They were reportedly members of the Ukrainian special operations forces and were supposed to eliminate four members of the civil-military administration of the Kherson region.The Russian special forces seized numerous small arms, several hand grenade launchers, grenades, and explosive devices from Ukrainian militants, with which the saboteurs planned to blow up the cars of local officials.
The weapons included mines, radios, grenades, and small arms. Camouflaged mines were also seized from the saboteurs, which are activated by a phone call.
The subversive and reconnaissance group collected information about the location and movement of several members of the regional administration and other persons. In the future, the Security Service of Ukraine planned to eliminate these people by blowing them up, but the group was detained. The criminal plan was not thwarted.
The saboteurs Alexei Derkach, who was a lawyer, as well as militants Sergei and Nikolai Semeniuki, were to have been the executors of the attacks. Local resident Alexander Kruchinenko, who received instructions from officer of the Security Service of Ukraine Yevgeny Loboda, should act as a scout. During the interrogation, Kruchinenko admitted that since Kherson came under Russian control, he had transported Ukrainian soldiers along the Dnepr to Mykolaiv several times, and from there he returned with explosives. In addition, he had a stockpile of weapons, ammunition, mines, and grenades left by the Ukrainian military.
The saboteurs planned to use mines with a magnet to blow up three cars with the local officials. The list of their targets included Dmitry Savluchenko, head of the Department of Family, Youth, and Sports of the regional administration; Tatyana Kuzmich, head of the Department of Education and Science; Sergey Cheryavko, former deputy head of Kherson; and Ruslan Zakharov, leader of a Kherson NGO.
