The counterintelligence unit of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has detained a woman who allegedly helped direct Russian missile and drone attacks on Dnipro earlier this month.
According to the SSU, the suspect was an unemployed local resident. She reportedly came to the attention of Russian intelligence services because of her pro-Kremlin comments in Telegram channel chats.
After being recruited and instructed by Russian handlers, the woman began monitoring the locations and technical condition of defense-related enterprises in Dnipro that Russia was allegedly preparing to target in a new wave of combined strikes.

"During reconnaissance missions, the agent recorded the perimeters of the relevant facilities, focusing on administrative buildings, industrial workshops, and logistics centers of potential targets. She also monitored the aftermath of enemy strikes and reported the information to her Russian handler to prepare new attacks or adjust follow-up strikes on Dnipro," the SSU stated.
