Suryaa Now International News Desk: A car bomb explosion occurred in the Chertanovo district of southern Moscow on Friday, November 13, 2026. The blast took place on Kirovogradskaya Street when an explosive device detonated beneath a Toyota SUV.
The vehicle’s occupant, Sergei Zavorotny, a 72-year-old pro-Russia commentator and former representative for former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov, sustained severe injuries. Reports indicate the explosion, caused by an IED or magnetic mine placed under the driver's seat, resulted in head injuries, broken ribs, the loss of his left arm, and serious leg injuries. Zavorotny was transported to a hospital, where his condition is reported as critical.
This incident follows a car bomb attack on Thursday, November 12, in the Shushary area near St. Petersburg, which resulted in the death of a senior colonel in the Russian Aerospace Forces. Russian investigative authorities have registered a case of attempted murder regarding the Moscow explosion. While analysts suggest the attacks may be linked to Ukrainian networks operating within Russia, the Ukrainian government has not issued an official response to either explosion.
