Woman arrested after deadly attack in western Ukraine

A woman has been arrested in connection with a suspected terrorist attack in Lviv that killed a police officer and injured 25 others early on February 22.

Axar.az, citing Kyiv Independent, reports that Ukrainian authorities believe the attack was ordered by Russia.

“The police, in cooperation with the Security Service of Ukraine, have arrested a suspected saboteur,” said Ihor Klymenko.

Two blasts struck Lviv’s historic Old Town after police responded to a reported store intrusion, with a second explosion hitting arriving officers.

The police officer killed was 23-year-old Viktoria Shpylka, and six other officers are hospitalized in serious condition.

“There is every reason to believe that the crime was carried out on the orders of Russia. It’s not the first time that the enemy has deliberately set up deadly traps for Ukrainian law enforcement officers,” Klymenko added.

President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed condolences on Telegram:

“My condolences to the families. All necessary resources have been provided to the investigation.”
