ST. PETERSBURG, Russia - An explosion tore through a cafe in Russia's second-largest city Sunday, killing a prominent militaryRussian news reports saidVladlen Tatarsky was killed in the explosion at the Street Food Bar No. 1 cafe in St. Petersburg. Twenty-five people were wounded, and 19 of them were hospitalized, according to the regional governor, Alexander Beglov.
Since the fighting in Ukraine began on Feb. 24, 2022, various fires, explosions and apparent assassinations have occurred in Russia without any clear connection to the conflict. After the Kremlin's annexation of four regions of Ukraine last year, Tatarsky posted a video in which he vowed: “That's it. We'll defeat everybody, kill everybody, rob everybody we need to. It will all be the way we like it. God be with you.”A top Ukrainian government official speculated that internal Russian opposition to the Kremlin's invasion was behind the blast.
