An explosion at a police station in Rivne, western Ukraine, resulted in the death of one officer and injuries to three others, according to local authorities. Emergency services are on the scene, while law enforcement agencies investigate the cause and circumstances surrounding the blast, the National Police reported. Russian intelligence services have been implicated in a series of violent acts across Ukraine since the onset of the full-scale invasion.
The Kremlin has a history of enlisting Ukrainian citizens for intelligence operations or attacks against Ukrainian officials, military personnel, and law enforcement. Russian forces targeted the National Police's regional headquarters in Zhytomyr using Banderol drones on August 19, resulting in the deaths of two officers and injuries to at least 40 individuals.
