A bomb hidden in a rubbish bin tore through a residential street in occupied Sevastopol on Thursday morning, killing a Russian serviceman in what Moscow's security service called a Ukrainian-directed attack, the latest in a series of strikes against military figures tied to the war.
The explosion struck a stairwell area on Stoletovsky Avenue as the victim was walking with a companion, according to witness accounts carried by Russian Telegram channels.
Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) later confirmed that a Defence Ministry serviceman had been killed, without naming him and said it had detained a Russian woman born in 1994 whom it accused of acting on instructions from Ukrainian intelligence.
