The victim has not been named. His wife, reportedly also in the vehicle at the time of the incident, was critically injured.
A Russian Aerospace Forces lieutenant colonel was killed in St. Petersburg on August 27 when an improvised explosive device detonated inside his car. His wife survived and was hospitalized with serious injuries. Russia's Investigative Committee launched a criminal investigation, but no one has claimed responsibility for the attack.
This incident is part of a series of bombings targeting individuals connected to Russia's war efforts, including recent bombings of a drone manufacturer and a high-profile assassination of a general in Moscow. Ukraine's security services have previously claimed responsibility for similar attacks.
