Car Bomb Detonates in Odesa's Primorskyi District, SBU Launches Terror Probe
A Volkswagen sedan exploded on Universytetska Street in Odesa's Primorskyi district on Saturday evening, May 23, injuring two passengers. The blast triggered a fire and caused severe damage to the vehicle, prompting Ukraine's SBU security service to investigate it as a potential terrorist act.
The targeted car bombing occurred late Saturday and represents another security incident in the southern port city. The explosive device detonated while the vehicle was in use, causing structural damage and sparking a fire that required emergency response. The SBU's investigation into the incident as a potential terrorist act suggests authorities are treating it as a deliberate attack rather than an accident. Such incidents in Odesa have become a recurring concern amid ongoing security threats in the region.
