Ukrainian Security Service Officer Assassinated in Kyiv; Manhunt Underway
An officer from Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) was tragically shot dead in Kyiv on Thursday morning, in what authorities are investigating as an apparent assassination. The SBU confirmed the killing, stating that an investigation is actively underway into the high-profile incident.
Silent CCTV footage, widely shared on local Telegram channels, purportedly shows the attack. The clip depicts a man, identified as the SBU officer, leaving an apartment building in broad daylight before being approached by a masked individual. The attacker appears to fire a gun, causing the officer to collapse, before firing again and fleeing the scene. Kyiv Police have launched a massive manhunt to identify and apprehend the perpetrator.
The SBU, Ukraine’s primary security agency, has been at the forefront of critical operations, including the recent “Operation Spiderweb” drone attack against Russian airfields. This assassination marks a significant security incident in the Ukrainian capital, prompting an urgent response from law enforcement agencies as the victim was found dead at the scene with a gunshot wound.
