Russian Man Detained in Turkey Suspected in Moscow Car Bombing

Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya announced that Turkish police have detained a Russian man, Yevgeny Serebryakov, suspected of a car bombing in Moscow that left two people wounded, with one being reported as a senior military intelligence officer. The blast, caused by an explosive device placed in a Toyota Land Cruiser SUV, resulted in injuries to the owner of the vehicle and a passenger. While initial reports suggested the victims included the deputy chief of a Russian military satellite communications radio center and his wife, conflicting information arose regarding their presence in the vehicle at the time of the explosion. The incident, which occurred in a Moscow parking lot, has sparked investigations pointing to potential Ukrainian special services involvement, amidst a series of bombing attacks targeting Russian military officials and public figures following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine earlier this year.
