A Russian military commander identified by one outlet as Maj. Gen. Nikolai Varpakhovich is reported to have been shot in the head in a drive-by attack and is fighting for his life. The report says he is in critical condition following the shooting.
The same outlet links Varpakhovich to the broader war context, stating he commands Russia’s 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division and had ordered a strike on a children’s hospital in Ukraine. The reporting does not provide additional independent verification or further details about the circumstances of the attack in the available text.
Across the provided sources, the emphasis is on the commander’s reported injury and the outlet’s connection to alleged responsibility for the hospital strike. No other outlet content is included here to confirm the shooting details, the commander’s role, or the alleged link to the hospital incident.
