SBU detained a Russian agent who helped prepare a strike on Mykolaiv 'bypassing' air defense.

Counterintelligence of the Security Service detained another woman in Mykolaiv who was an informant for Russian military intelligence. She was collecting coordinates of objects for new missile-drone strikes on the city. The enemy was targeting factories and production workshops of Ukraine's defense-industrial complex. To hit these objects, the enemy tried to find the base locations of anti-aircraft missile systems and radar stations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. For this, the Russian special service involved its informant, who traveled around the city by different routes on public transport and conducted reconnaissance on foot. When she found a location, she recorded it on her phone camera, pretending to talk on the phone. All the information received she passed to her Russian curator. The SBU documented her espionage activities and detained her, confiscating the mobile phone she used to communicate with the occupiers. The detainee was informed of suspicion for unauthorized distribution of information about the direction of weapons and the movement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Ukraine. She could face up to 12 years in prison. There was also information about the detention of another FSB agent who was spying on the Defense Forces in Vinnytsia region.
