Sergei Zavorotniy, a former aide to Ukraine's former prime minister, was injured in a Moscow car blast Friday, a day after a separate explosion killed a Russian service member in St. Petersburg, Reuters reported.
The Moscow blast occurred in Chertanovo. Russia's Investigative Committee said Zavorotniy was driving and that it had opened an investigation.
The 112 Telegram channel and Ren TV reported that Zavorotniy had a concussion and broken ribs, and said he lost his left arm. Azarov was Ukraine's prime minister from 2010 to 2014; Reuters reported that Zavorotniy had been his spokesman and a senior aide.
Reuters reported that Azarov moved to Russia in 2014 after demonstrations forced then-President Viktor Yanukovych from office. Azarov told TASS, Russia's state news agency, Friday that he knew Zavorotniy had survived. He said he had no further details about the bombing.
Reuters reported that a Thursday car bombing in St. Petersburg killed a Russian military member. The news agency said Ukraine had not immediately responded to the Moscow explosion, and Kyiv had made no comment on Thursday's attack.
