Russian military journalist Vladlen Tatarsky, died this Sunday in an explosion at a cafe in St. Petersburg, Russia. At least 25 people were injured as a result of the terrorist attack, which killed a blogger and influencer, according to the Moscow-based RT TV channel.
According to this TV channel, the cause of a strong explosion that occurred in the second city of Russia was an improvised explosive device planted in a statue delivered to Tatar.
The head of the Russian Interior Ministry confirmed the death of Tatarsky, whose real name is Maxim Fomin.
The cafe where the attack took place must have belonged to Evgeny PrigozhinAO, the founder of the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary group that took on the defense of Moscow, namely in the bloody battles near Bakhmut, in the Donbass.
