A 23-year-old police officer has been killed and 25 people injured in what Ukrainian officials are calling a terror attack in the western city of Lviv. Two homemade explosive devices detonated in waste bins after police responded to a reported break-in early Sunday. Eleven people were hospitalized, with six law enforcement officers in serious condition.
President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed a suspect, identified as a 33-year-old Ukrainian woman, has been detained. The fallen officer was named Viktoria Shpylka, who had recently begun her service.
Authorities are investigating the incident as an act of terrorism and are identifying other potential individuals involved. This attack occurred as Ukraine faced another night of Russian strikes.
