In Kyiv, a citizen of Uzbekistan threatened to carry out an explosion at the Leonardo business centre on Bohdana Khmelnytskoho Street, 17/52A. A employee of Universal Bank called the police and reported a man who threatened to use a bomb in a backpack and demanded that police be called.
Bank employees left the premises, while the bank manager stayed of her own accord. The approaches and roads to the business centre were blocked, and the National Guard arrived. The terrorist demanded to be put on live air. Police began negotiations.
The terrorist is named Karimov Sukhrob Rakhmanovich, born on 25 March 1988. Heraschenko described him as "mentally unbalanced," judging by his social media. He was already detained alive: journalists were allowed to the terrorist, and during the conversation Alpha burst in. No explosion occurred.



Almost 2 weeks ago, on 21 July, in Lutsk, Maksym Kryvosh, armed with grenades, an assault rifle and a revolver, seized a bus and 13 hostages inside it. He surrendered after President Zelensky met his demands. No one was injured.
On 23 July, terrorist Kryvosh was taken into custody for 2 months without the option of posting bail. On 30 July he declared a hunger strike over "improper" conditions in the pretrial detention centre.
Also on 23 July in Poltava, Roman Skrypnyk, armed with a grenade, took a police officer hostage and demanded a car. Later he swapped the hostage for the regional head of the National Police and headed toward Kyiv. The same day, Skrypnyk released the hostage and hid in the forest in Poltava region.
Police searched for Skrypnyk for 8 days. On 1 August, during the detention he threatened a police captain with a grenade, after which he was shot dead by a sniper and blew himself up with his own grenade.
