Security services reported that the SBU and Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR) exchanged gunfire while carrying out urgent investigative measures. During the search, a group of people attempted to obstruct the proceedings, leading the SBU to call in its Alpha unit to suppress armed resistance. Preliminary findings indicate that the attackers belonged to one of Ukraine's Defense Forces units. Budanov stated that the investigation will ensure a thorough and impartial process, noting that no one has the right to abduct servicemen with impunity or issue criminal orders. The situation was also reported to be a result of a dispute between security services over providing protection for fraudulent call centers.
