Ukraine's SBU Security Service in the Sumy Oblast arrested a couple who helped Russian special services prepare strikes against Ukraine's armed forces stationed along the country's northeastern border, the SBU reported on April 29.

Spouses of unemployed residents worked for the Russian special service through an anonymous chat, the SBU said.

They would drive around the border area to identify locations of Ukrainian military bases to pass the coordinates to the occupiers to improve future shelling of the area.

The suspects were caught red-handed during a special operation and arrested. Police seized their phones, which they had used to geolocate Ukrainian Armed Forces positions.
