Ukraine war latest: Ex-PM press secretary reportedly injured in Moscow car explosion

On November 13, a car explosion occurred in Moscow's Chertanovo District, injuring former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov's press secretary, Sergei Zavorotny. Zavorotny, who fled to Russia in 2014 following the Euromaidan Revolution, suffered a brain contusion, broken ribs, an open fracture of the tibia, and lost his left arm.

Russian media suggested the explosion might have been caused by an improvised explosive device (IED) or a magnetic mine, with the former investigation being opened. Meanwhile, Russia's advance in Ukraine has slowed significantly, with heavy casualties limiting Moscow's ability to sustain its offensive, according to Ukraine's Air Assault Forces commander, Maj. Gen. Oleh Apostol.
