Russia's Investigative Committee has launched an investigation into the explosion of a car belonging to an exiled Ukrainian political aide in Moscow, Russian media reported.
The car reportedly belonged to Sergei Zavorotniy, a former spokesman for Mykola Azarov, who served as Ukraine's prime minister from 2010 to 2014. He fled to Russia from Ukraine amid anti-government protests in 2014.
According to the Russian newspaper Kommersant, Zavorotniy was hospitalized. Both Ren TV and the 112 Telegram channel reported that he lost his left arm in the attack and sustained a concussion, rib fractures, and other injuries.
Meanwhile, Azarov told Russia's TASS state news agency on Friday that he does not know anything about the explosion except that Zavorotniy survived.
This is the second reported car explosion in Russia following the death of a Russian serviceman in a car explosion in Saint Petersburg on Thursday.
There was no immediate comment from Ukraine.
