Overview
- A Khabarovsk court ordered two people into pretrial custody on charges tied to an explosion at the Knyaze-Volkonskoye-1 military garrison, and said a third suspect is wanted.
- The court announcement confirms that a blast happened but does not give a motive or name a target.
- Independent outlets reported that a bomb left in a mailbox on the stairwell of House No. 55 killed Lt. Col. Kuzmenko and wounded several people.
- Those reports said Major General Azatbek Omurbekov survived and that about 20 residents, including children, were evacuated from the damaged building.
- Omurbekov previously led the 64th brigade linked by AP, BBC and others to the Bucha killings, later received the Hero of Russia title, and is under EU, UK and US sanctions.
