The Security Service of Ukraine has detained another enemy agent in Kherson. On orders from russia's federal security service, he adjusted russian air strikes and artillery attacks from the left bank of the region on the city.

The SSU uncovered the agent and detained him.
Action was taken to protect the locations of the Defense Forces and energy facilities.
During the search of the suspect's home, the investigators seized two laptops and six phones with SIM cards from different operators, which he used to register fake accounts to hide his work for russia.
