Earlier today, a car bomb in the Shushary settlement in St. Petersburg killed an unidentified Russian colonel, who is reportedly the top navigator of the Air Force's 6th Army and Air Defense Forces. An explosive device planted under his car detonated remotely as he left the yard of a residential complex. He died instantly.
This is the second such car bomb assassination of a senior Air Force/Air Defense officer in the same area in less than three months.
