The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) and National Police have detained a 19-year-old agent of Russian intelligence who lured a Ukrainian soldier in Kyiv under the pretense of a date and attempted to kill him using an improvised explosive device (IED) hidden in a scooter.

Russian drone and missile attacks in and around Kyiv overnight killed seven people, injured dozens, sparked fires in residential areas and damaged the entrance to a metro station bomb shelter, Ukrainian officials said on Monday.

Russia killed dozens of Ukrainian civilians in less than 48 hours on Monday and Tuesday, according to Ukrainian officials, two of the deadliest days in many months.
