The explosion on the outskirts of St. Petersburg may have killed Colonel Dmytro Lobodin - the chief navigator of the 6th Air and Air Defense Army.
The 78 ru website first reported this but later removed the information from its publication. The Russian media outlet "Agency" noted this.
According to open records, the house where Lobodin is registered is 400 meters from the place of the explosion.
At the end of August, another officer of the same army, Seri Sachkov, was killed in the same area.
The car blew up at around 07:00 at the exit of a yard on the Kolpinskoye road in the Shoshry area. According to monitoring channels, the colonel was killed, and his relative was wounded. OSINT analysts say explosives were attached to the underside of the car and detonated remotely.
