Russian artillery chief killed in Moscow-area car bombing as second blast emerges nearby
A senior Russian military official, Col. Damir Davydov, who headed the defense ministry’s artillery procurement, was killed in a car bombing outside Moscow’s Balashikha. The Insider cited Ukraine’s SBU as responsible, but Kyiv has not commented and the Kremlin would not confirm Davydov’s identity. In a separate incident, investigators found a second car bomb in southwestern Moscow meant to target an employee of a scientific production enterprise; there were no casualties, suspects have been charged, and reports describe a teenage girl and boy involved with a GPS tracker.
