Car bombings in Russia kill military officer, injure ex-Ukraine PM adviser; Moscow blames Kyiv

A series of car bombings in Moscow and St. Petersburg has targeted pro-Russian figures and Russian military officers. Two attacks occurred in Moscow within 48 hours, injuring a former advisor to the Yanukovych government and an alleged Russian intelligence officer. Separately, a Russian colonel was killed in St. Petersburg, marking the second such assassination attempt on a military figure in the city within three months. These incidents indicate an active, coordinated campaign of sabotage or assassination within Russia, with responsibility and specific motives remaining unconfirmed.
