Russian chief navigator may have died in St. Petersburg car explosion

Russian chief navigator Colonel Dmitry Lobodin may have been killed in a car explosion on Nov. 12 in St. Petersburg, according to multiple reports. The explosion occurred in the Slavyanka neighborhood of Shushary, near a Lenta store and a Tatneft gas station. Initially reported by 78.ru, the outlet later updated its post to clarify that Lobodin was the deceased.

The building where he is registered as a resident is located just 400 meters from the explosion site. While Lobodin's wife answered her phone when contacted by Agentstvo, she ended the conversation when asked about the incident. Lobodin is believed to have directly participated in Russia's military invasion of Ukraine.
