Ukraine successfully attacked a Russian convoy of vehicles in its capital city of Kyiv on Tuesday after receiving a public tip via the encrypted messaging app Telegram.
The Security Service of Ukraine, the country’s top law enforcement agency, announced that it targeted the Russian vehicles through messages containing location coordinates on a Telegram bot account called STOP Russian War.
