Russian Military Member Injured in Car Explosion in Moscow
A Russian military member, Andrei Torgashov, and his wife were injured in a car explosion in Moscow. The explosion is believed to have been caused by a car bomb, and authorities suspect it was an attempted murder.
Torgashov, who was working for the Russian military in Ukraine, lost his foot in the explosion, while his wife was injured by shrapnel. The incident occurred in a parking lot in northern Moscow, where an unidentified object was placed in their parked car and detonated.
Surveillance videos show a man appearing to place something under the vehicle. The investigation is looking into whether Torgashov was targeted due to his position in the military.
The motive behind the attack is still under investigation, with a possible Ukrainian connection being considered. This incident is part of a series of car bombings targeting Russian military and Kremlin-affiliated individuals since the beginning of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine in February 2022. The Investigative Committee has taken over the case, considering it to be of special importance.
