Terrorist attack in Ivano-Frankivsk: Law enforcement confirms that on March 11, Russians detonated their own agents.
The investigation established that the perpetrators were two local minors, aged 15 and 17, who were carrying explosives near the railway station.
The explosion killed the 17-year-old suspect, while his 15-year-old accomplice was hospitalized with severe injuries. Two bystanders were also wounded. The surviving suspect faces a potential life sentence.
The Russians remotely detonated one of the bombs carried by the teenagers, as well as a second device located in a rented apartment where they had been assembling explosives.
Additionally, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the National Police are considering how to classify the actions of two 15-year-old girls who were in the same group as the suspects during the preparation of the attack.

Andrey, a Russian entrepreneur living in Brazil who, fearing retaliation, asked that NPR not use his last name, said Telegram has become one of the few places Russians can access independent news about the war. Since January 2022, the SC has received a total of 47 complaints and enquiries on illegal investment schemes promoted through Telegram. These fraudulent schemes offer non-existent investment opportunities, promising very attractive and risk-free returns within a short span of time. They commonly offer unrealistic returns of as high as 1,000% within 24 hours or even within a few hours. "The inflation fire was already hot and now with war-driven inflation added to the mix, it will grow even hotter, setting off a scramble by the world’s central banks to pull back their stimulus earlier than expected," Chris Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS, wrote in an email. "A spike in inflation rates has preceded economic recessions historically and this time prices have soared to levels that once again pose a threat to growth." On Feb. 27, however, he admitted from his Russian-language account that "Telegram channels are increasingly becoming a source of unverified information related to Ukrainian events." For Oleksandra Tsekhanovska, head of the Hybrid Warfare Analytical Group at the Kyiv-based Ukraine Crisis Media Center, the effects are both near- and far-reaching.
