"One of the terrorists was arrested while laying explosives on a bridge near the village of Dubliany [in the Lviv region]. He tried to resist and opened fire,” the paper quoted the Security Service of Ukraine as saying.

“As a result, one employee of the Security Service of Ukraine was injured” but his life is not in danger.

During searches of the suspects, security service officers confiscated a large number of firearms, explosives and components for their production, including grenade launchers, five kilograms of explosives and 600 grams of TNT, three electrodetonators, three pistols and a large amount of ammunition of different calibres, Ukrayinska Pravda reported.
