The scene of the explosion that killed Maxim Fomin was a venue owned by Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin.
The assassination of a pro-Vladimir Putin"milblogger" in St Petersburg points to"further fractures within the Kremlin and its inner circle," according to a new evaluation.
Prominent"war correspondent" Maxim Fomin, who was also known as Vladlen Tatarsky, was killed in a"deliberate and targeted attack," the Institute for the Study of War said on Sunday. Police were alerted to the explosion at 6.13 p.m. local time, and Russian law enforcement officials told state media that Fomin was the intended target of the"makeshift" device.
It still isn't clear who was responsible for the explosion that killed Fomin and injured dozens of others at the bar, named as the Street Food Bar #1 Café. Russian state news outlet RIA Novosti reported that 32 people had been injured as of Monday morning, with eight people still being treated in hospital.
