Assassination attempt on Russian bomber division commander near Saratov

An unidentified shooter on a motorcycle attempted to assassinate Major General Nikolai Varpakhovich, commander of Russia's 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division, at his residence in Prabuzhdeniye, Saratov Oblast. The SBU had accused Varpakhovich of ordering the strike on Kyiv's Ohmadit hospital three days prior. The attack's success and perpetrator remain unconfirmed, but it signals potential Ukrainian covert operations targeting senior Russian military leadership inside Russia.
