In Kyiv, an attempt was made to blow up an Azov serviceman at the site of a fake date: explosives were planted in a moped.

The soldier met a girl in the Telegram chatbot “Divingchik” — she introduced herself as “Nastiusha” and invited him on a date.

When the man arrived at the meeting place near her building, she messaged saying she was still getting ready and suggested he take the keys to her intercom from under the seat of a yellow moped parked nearby.

Approaching the scooter, the serviceman grew suspicious, managed to step back — and the moped detonated.

According to preliminary information, the explosive may have contained ammonium nitrate. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

That explosion looked pretty weak. Seems like a homemade device. I doubt it would've killed him even if he had been closer. Insane instincts though.

Russia using terror tactics. Classic.

this happened less than 80 meters from my house. my wife and cats jumped, but there was no ongoing air raid alarm at the moment so we didn't know what to think.

It could be any army around the world war zone or not . Young soldiers are still going be young soldiers. Thank goodness he got his situational awareness back at the last second. Many of my friends in my younger days in the service would have been meat vapor.

I hope the Ork that missed gets a drone right up their ass.
