On November 13, a car bomb detonated in Moscow's Chertanovo district, killing a 72-year-old former Ukrainian press secretary and adviser to the late Prime Minister Mykola Azarov. The vehicle, a Toyota Fortuner SUV, belonged to Sergei Zavorotny, who relocated to Moscow in 2014 and later became the editor-in-chief of the pro-Russian website Antifashist.com.
Zavorotny suffered severe injuries, including shrapnel wounds and leg and arm injuries. The improvised explosive device was believed to be placed under the driver's seat. Russian authorities launched an investigation, opening a criminal case without specifying charges. This incident is the second car bombing targeting a Russian military officer in recent weeks, with a colonel killed in St. Petersburg on November 12.
