Terrorist attack in the center of Lviv. The Ministry of Internal Affairs provided new information

Ukrainian authorities have arrested a woman linked to a recent explosion in Lviv that resulted in the death of a police officer and injuries to multiple civilians.

Ukrainian Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko confirmed the arrest of a woman in the Lviv region, who may be connected to the explosion that occurred in Lviv. Mykola Mereta, head of the Lviv Regional Prosecutor's Office, stated that investigators are currently working to identify other perpetrators involved. He indicated that there are still numerous procedural actions needed to reconstruct the timeline surrounding the crime, both before and after it was committed.

The explosion has led to the tragic death of a 23-year-old police officer, with reports indicating that a police vehicle and a civilian vehicle were damaged in the attack. The number of casualties is still being confirmed, with recent media reports suggesting that there are at least 25 injured individuals, including three in critical condition. The National Police of Ukraine (NPU) initially reported 24 injured, highlighting the ongoing confusion in the immediate aftermath of the incident.

This event marks a significant security concern for Ukraine, particularly in the context of ongoing tensions and instability within the country. The ability of law enforcement to respond effectively and the nature of the threats posed in urban areas like Lviv will be crucial in the coming days, as investigations continue and public safety measures are assessed. The government's response will likely include heightened security and a thorough investigation to address both public concern and the continuing threat of terrorism.
