A car bombing in southern Moscow has injured writer and former adviser to ex-Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov, Russia’s Investigative Committee said on Friday.
Sergey Zavorotny, 72, was behind the wheel when the explosion occurred on Kirovogradskaya Street in the capital’s southern district of Chertanovo. He was taken to the hospital for treatment, investigators said.
A law enforcement source told RT that an improvised explosive device detonated in Zavorotny’s Toyota. He lost an arm and suffered a brain contusion and multiple fractures, the source said, describing his condition as moderately serious.
Kommersant reported that investigators suspect Ukrainian intelligence services, particularly the SBU, of involvement. According to the outlet, a suspected magnetic mine attached beneath the vehicle was detonated remotely while Zavorotny was driving.
