Car bomb in Moscow injures former Azarov associate with severed arm
The man was hospitalized after an explosion, with reports of head injury and broken ribs.
A former associate of Ukraine’s former pro-Russian prime minister was left seriously injured after a car bomb exploded in Moscow, Russian media reported.
The blast hit a car in the city district of Chertanovo on Friday. Russian outlets said the injured man, Sergei Zavorotnyi, was taken to hospital.
According to Kommersant, Zavorotnyi, described as a former close collaborator of Mykola Azarov, was hospitalized after the explosion. Reports by Ren TV and the Telegram channel 112 said he lost his left arm. The same reports said he was also treated for a concussion, broken ribs, and other injuries.
The attack was the second reported bombing in Russia in two days, Reuters noted. Moscow has blamed Ukraine for earlier attacks on high-ranking military officials and people involved in Russia’s war efforts.
Reuters also reported that Azarov, who fled to Russia in 2014 after Ukraine’s 2014 Maidan revolution, told Russia’s state news agency TASS that he had no information about the car-bomb explosion beyond that Zavorotnyi survived.
Latest reports say the injured man remains in hospital following the car-bomb attack in Moscow’s Chertanovo district.
