Ukraine Terror Plot Foiled: Explosive device discovered on busy Dnipropetrovsk railway line - watch on - uatoday.tv
Another terror attack foiled. Ukraine's Security Service has found an explosive device on a railway line in the region of Dnipropetrovsk, the latest in a spate of terror threats across Ukraine's east.
The block of TNT was discovered shortly before a passenger train was scheduled to pass that part of the track, according to security officials. A manhunt is underway for those responsible for planting the device. The device was found hours after another explosive was detonated on a railway line in Kharkiv, derailing several wagons but causing no injuries.
Railway tracks are not the only targets. In recent months, there have been a series of explosions in cities including Odesa, Kharkiv, and Kherson, targeting military facilities and pro-Ukrainian organisations, volunteer groups and marches. The attacks attempt to sow fear among the general public within government-controlled areas of Ukraine, in the wake of Russia's intervention.
With this threat in mind, Kyiv city officials on Monday took part in drills aimed at practicing how to deal with an attack in the capital. Among those who attended was Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.
Participants exchanged suits and ties for camouflage uniforms, including how to deal with wounds, burns and giving emergency injections. More training sessions like this are scheduled for later this month.
