In mid-June, a shootout took place in the Eda.Topi cafe, located on the Dnieper embankment in occupied Kherson, Ukraine. Two Federal Security Service (FSB) officers and one contract soldier of the Russian army were killed. Another FSB officer and a serviceman from the Ministry of Defense were seriously wounded. A few days later, Aleksey Arestovich, adviser to the office of the President of Ukraine, stated that this was the work of Ukrainian partisans.
