An explosion occurred in the main building of the SBU in Kyiv.

      An explosion occurred in the main building of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) in the center of Kyiv. This was reported by the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky. According to him, the explosion took place near the office of the head of the SBU, Oleksandr Poklad. Zelensky added that he has already spoken with him. The central office of the SBU is located in the center of Kyiv, near the "Golden Gates" metro station. It is a four-story building. Earlier, the media reported that SBU and GUR employees opened fire on each other in the Kyiv neighborhood of Bereznyaki. As a result, one GUR employee was killed, and two others were injured. The media reported that the security service employees could not agree on the fraudulent call centers among themselves. Ukrainian media have already reported cases of contradictions between the country's law enforcement agencies. For instance, in March 2022, during an arrest, a member of the Ukrainian delegation in negotiations with Russia, Denys Kyreev, was killed. The then head of GUR, Kyrylo Budanov, stated that Kyreev was an intelligence officer and was killed in an SBU vehicle. An advisor to the President of Ukraine, Mykhailo Podolyak, explained the incident as uncoordinated actions of the security forces.
