A car explosion in Moscow wounded Sergei Zavorotny, a former aide to Ukraine’s pro-Russian ex-PM Mykola Azarov, as Russian investigators open a criminal probe.
MOSCOW: A car blast in Moscow on Friday wounded a former adviser to Ukraine’s fugitive ex-prime minister Mykola Azarov, Russian officials said, as they launched a criminal probe into the explosion.
The apparent attack comes a day after a Russian colonel was killed in a car explosion in Saint Petersburg — the latest in a string of killings of Russian military figures and pro-Kremlin supporters of Moscow’s offensive.
Sergei Zavorotny was behind the wheel when the car exploded on Friday morning, leaving him wounded, Russia’s Investigative Committee said in a statement.
