On June 14, 2024, in the city of Millerovo, Rostov Region, there was an explosion of a car in which the chief of staff and first deputy commander of the military unit Vadim Sobesky was.

The explosion thundered on the territory of the military camp in Millerovo. "112" and local media report that the first deputy commander of a military unit in the Rostov region, Vadim Sobesky, was in the Volvo car. He managed to jump out of the burning car. Among the possible causes of the explosion are the malfunction of gas equipment. The Investigative Committee has already opened a case of attempted murder of a high-ranking military man.

According to the investigation:

• Sobieski was driving his Volvo car when he smelled smoke and heard hissing.
• He managed to leave the car before the explosion and was not injured.
• The car burned down completely.
• The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case under the article on attempted murder.

There are several versions of the causes of the explosion:

• Malfunction of gas equipment: This version was initially adhered to by the investigating authorities.
• Improvised explosive device: Baza, a Telegram channel specializing in the investigation of incidents, reported that fragments of an improvised explosive device and metal balls were found at the scene, which could be used as striking elements.

Currently, an investigation is underway to establish the cause of the explosion and those responsible for it.

**It is important to note that this incident occurred against the backdrop of the ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine. **

It is possible that the explosion could have been a terrorist attack directed against a high-ranking Russian military officer.

**It should also be noted that this is not the first such case in recent times. **

In May 2024, a car of an employee of the occupation correctional colony was blown up in occupied Berdyansk. He died on the spot from his injuries.

These events indicate that the conflict in Ukraine has far-reaching consequences that can affect not only the warring parties, but also civilians.
