Ukraine’s security service (SBU) says it has killed two suspected Russian FSB agents believed to be behind the assassination of a senior Ukrainian officer in Kyiv last week.
Colonel Ivan Voronych was shot dead in broad daylight on July 10. Surveillance footage showed the killer using a silenced pistol before fleeing. Days later, the SBU tracked down a man and a woman allegedly involved in the hit. When officers moved in, the pair resisted arrest and were killed in the operation.
The SBU called it a direct response to Russian intelligence operations on Ukrainian soil. Moscow has not yet commented on the incident.
