Car bomb kills ex-prison official accused of torturing Ukrainian POWs
Original: герой
A former employee of Russia's federal penitentiary service was killed when his car exploded near Tula. Ukraine had accused the man of torturing Ukrainian prisoners of war, and Russian media and commentators are framing the blast as a targeted attack. The killing adds to a string of assassinations and sabotage incidents inside Russia linked to the war.
Why now: The targeted bombing of a man Ukraine accused of war crimes has drawn attention amid ongoing reports of sabotage attacks inside Russia.
