The bombing of a top Russian military officer has put a damper on Vladimir Putin’s desperate popularity push.
A targeted bombing killed a Russian Defense Ministry serviceman in Russian-occupied Crimea at around 10 a.m. local time on Thursday morning, according to The Moscow Times.
The Federal Security Service (FSB) said that an explosive device was hidden inside a trash can on a street in western Sevastopol, which is home to the Russian Black Sea Fleet. It was detonated when the officer, whom officials did not identify, walked by, the outlet reported.
