A car bomb in Moscow injures Sergei Zavorotnyi, a former adviser to Mykola Azarov, a former Ukrainian prime minister. Multiple outlets report that the blast targets a person linked to Azarov and that investigators are looking into the attack, with at least one outlet describing Zavorotnyi as hospitalized.

Several reports place the incident within a broader pattern of attacks in Russia. The BBC notes it occurs amid peace talks and frames it as a second car bombing in as many days. Al Jazeera adds that Russia blames Kyiv for a series of car bombings that have targeted people connected to the war with Ukraine. The Independent and Winnipeg Free Press also broaden the context by mentioning the killing of a military officer alongside the injury of an adviser.

Across coverage, details on timing and wider impacts vary, but all accounts identify Zavorotnyi/Azarov’s adviser as the injured party and describe Moscow as the location.
