🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇦🇪🇺 Russian colonel killed in St. Petersburg car bombing, explosive device reportedly flown in from the Baltics A colonel of the Russian Armed Forces was killed overnight when his car exploded in St. Petersburg. An IED planted under the car was set off remotely as he was pulling out of a residential courtyard. His branch hasn't been officially named, but bits of information on social media suggest he served in the Russian Aerospace Forces. A criminal case has been opened. The attack happened in the same district of St. Petersburg where a similar car bombing took place in August. According to St. Petersburg outlet Fontanka, the bomber had already left Russia before the blast. The device was reportedly flown in from the Baltics by balloon, and he collected it in a forest. 🔴 @DDGeopolitics
