On August 24 in the area of Severodonetsk (Luhansk region) a forest base of terrorists was detected and destroyed. The leader of the subversive group (Russian military, call sign “Yamal”) and his subordinates (snipers, submachine gunners, machine gunners) were detained.
According to the documents seized from the terrorists and the statements they gave to SBU investigators, the group prepared for a criminal armed attack on the units of the Armed Forces and Security Service of Ukraine in the next few hours. The detainees also planned acts of sabotage on railway transport facilities.
