A Russian military officer is killed in a car bombing in St Petersburg, with his wife seriously injured, according to reports. The explosion occurs around 10am as the couple travels along Kolpinskoye Highway. The blast severely damages their vehicle and the officer dies at the scene.
Reports say the officer’s wife is taken to hospital with life-threatening injuries. One outlet describes her injuries as severe, including damage to her legs. The reports also identify the car as a Chinese-made Geely, but do not provide further detail on who is responsible or the motive.
Across the cited sources, the core account is the same: a bombing involving the officer’s car leads to his death and the wife’s critical condition. The coverage does not add confirmed, competing details beyond these points.
