Woman Faces Court After False Bomb Threat Against Kyiv Police

Investigation into Bomb Threat Concludes

According to Главком: Kyiv law enforcement has completed its investigation into a 52-year-old woman who, in November 2025, threatened to blow up a police administrative building. The indictment in this case has now been forwarded to the court for trial.

The incident occurred on November 6 at approximately 6:30 PM in the Metaluhrhiinyi district. The woman called the emergency line 102 and claimed she had a grenade and intended to detonate it at a building belonging to the district police department. Security forces responded immediately to her call and swept the location, but found no dangerous items. That same day, criminal investigators and local officers identified the caller and located her residence.

During a search of her home, no explosives or weapons were found. The woman could not provide a logical explanation for her actions. As a result, investigators detained her and formally notified her of the suspicion. Her actions have been classified under Part 2 of Article 259 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Under current law, she faces a potential sentence of up to eight years in prison.

Consequences of the Incident

It is important to note that a man died as a result of the explosion referenced in the threat. The case will now proceed to be heard in court.

This incident underscores the critical importance of law enforcement's rapid response to security threats and the severe legal repercussions for making false reports. Given the woman's inability to explain her actions, the situation may also raise questions about the mental state of individuals who make such threats. The judicial system will need to carefully consider all aspects of the case before reaching a verdict.
