The underground fighter spent a month tracking down the occupier.
The suspect in the explosion of a Russian serviceman’s car had been surveilling him for nearly a month after getting a job at a nearby hypermarket. He attached the explosive device to the car at night and had already left Russia by the time of the explosion. This was reported by "Fontanka".
The publication released details of the car bombing in the Shushary district of St. Petersburg. According to its report, the bomb was planted by a 31-year-old St. Petersburg resident. For about a month, he had been watching the colonel: the man got a job as a handyman at “Lenta” on Kolpinskoye Highway and figured out when the military officer returned home, where he parked his car, and what time he left for duty.
A “Fontanka” source claims that the homemade bomb was delivered to the Leningrad Region via a hot-air balloon. There is no confirmation of this version of events. After it landed, an unknown person retrieved the package and hid it in another hiding place, from which the perpetrator later retrieved it. According to the publication, around 1:00 a.m., he attached the device to the underside of a car, and at 2:43 a.m. Minsk time, he flew from Pulkovo to Istanbul. The plane landed at 6:05 a.m., after which the suspect traveled to Chisinau. The explosion occurred at 7:00 a.m.
Information regarding the fatalities is contradictory. The publication 78.ru reported that the chief navigator of the 6th Army of the Russian Air Force and Air Defense Forces, Dmitry Lobodin, may have been killed, but later removed this information. Ukrainian media outlets named two additional individuals: the deputy commander of the 6th Army for military-political affairs Andrei Khodykin and the deputy commander for aviation Viktor Pozdnyakov.
