Russian serviceman killed in car bomb in St. Petersburg, officials say
On Thursday, a Russian serviceman was killed and his wife injured when their car was bombed in the Pushkinsky suburb of St. Petersburg, according to officials. This incident follows a series of explosions targeting military personnel and others involved in Russia's war in Ukraine. The man's identity and rank have not been disclosed.
Moscow has accused Kyiv of orchestrating some of the attacks, but no group has claimed responsibility. The man's death is the latest in a string of deadly blasts in Russia, including a bombing of a factory supplying drones to the Russian military and a car bomb at an upscale Italian restaurant in Moscow that killed five people, including the bomber.
The Russian Foreign Ministry and security agencies have not identified any suspects in these attacks.
