KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine's security agency said Sunday it
tracked down and killed Russian agents suspected of shooting one
of its senior officers to death in the Ukrainian capital.
The Security Service of Ukraine, or SBU, said in a statement
that the suspected Russian agents were killed in the Kyiv region
after they offered resistance to arrest. A video released by the
agency showed two bodies lying on the ground.
The agency said earlier that a man and a woman were suspected to
be involved in Thursday's assassination of Ivan Voronych, an SBU
colonel, in a bold daylight attack that was caught on
surveillance cameras.
Media reports claimed that Voronych was involved in covert
operations in Russia-occupied territories of Ukraine and
reportedly helped organize Ukraine's surprise incursion into
Russia's Kursk region last year.
After a series of massive attacks across Ukraine involving
hundreds of exploding drones, Russia launched 60 drones
overnight, Ukraine's air force said. It said 20 of them were
shot down and 20 others were jammed.
The Ukrainian authorities reported that four civilians were
killed and 13 others injured in Russian attacks on the Donetsk
and Kherson regions since Saturday.
