Vladimir Putin’s motorcade was attacked with explosives during a recent journey, unverified reports from Telegram have claimed. According to the General SVR Telegram channel, purportedly run by a Kremlin insider, one car blocked the front vehicle in Putin’s motorcade, whilst another car drove around the motorcade and dropped an explosive on the vehicle carrying the Russian President. General SVR explained: “On the way to the residence, a few kilometers away, the first escort car was blocked by an ambulance, the second escort car drove around without stopping, a sudden obstacle, and while driving around the obstacle, the third car, in which Putin was, a loud bang sounded from the left front wheel followed by heavy smoke.” The report claims that despite the explosion, the car carrying Putin managed to reach its destination. However, it adds that “the investigation into the incident and all information on it is classified”.
