MOSCOW, April 3 — A prominent Russian military blogger was killed Sunday and 25 others injured in an explosion at a cafe in Russia’s second-largest city of Saint Petersburg, the interior ministry said.
The health ministry said that a total of 25 people were injured in the blast, 24 of whom were taken to hospital.The explosion occurred at “Street Food Bar No. 1”, located along the Neva river not far from the historic city centre, with the interior ministry saying police had been called to the scene at 6:13pm .
The Ria Novosti agency, quoting a source close to the inquiry, said “a girl” had supposedly dropped off a package with a “figurine” inside intended for the blogger. A group called Cyber Front Z, which refers to itself on social media as “Russia’s information troops”, said it had hired out the cafe for the evening.“There was a terrorist attack. We took certain security measures but unfortunately they were not enough,” the group said on Telegram.
Reacting to the attack, Ukrainian presidential aide Mykhaylo Podolyak said on Twitter the “question of when domestic terrorism would become an instrument of internal political fight was a matter of time”.
