An explosion in St. Petersburg could have killed the deputy commander of the Air Defense Forces covering the border from Karelia to Voronezh.
A car explosion on the morning of November 12 in the Micro-Slavyanka region of St. Petersburg could have killed Colonel Andrey Khudikin, who lives nearby, deputy commander of the 6th Air Force and Air Defense Forces for military-political work, Ukrainian monitoring channels report. They name two other victims apparently as two officers from the same 6th Army, responsible for the air defense of the northwestern and central regions of Russia, Colonels Dmitry Lobodin and Viktor Pozdnikov.
A 31-year-old resident of St. Petersburg is suspected of burying a bomb in the bottom of a car that exploded, Fontanka writes. Law enforcement identified the attacker, but he had already flown to Turkey before the explosion. When Russian security forces contacted local counterparts, it turned out that the man was already in Moldova, whose authorities do not hand over wanted suspects to the Russian Federation. Before the explosion on November 12, the alleged terrorist worked for a month as a laborer in one of the nearby hypermarkets and at the same time apparently followed a colonel from the Sixth Air Force and the Air Defense Army. Fontanka sources claim that he took the explosive device from a hiding place, where it was delivered in a balloon from one of the Baltic states.
