Investigators have opened a murder inquiry. MIRROR NOW reports that a Russian serviceman died in a suspected remotely detonated car bombing in St. Petersburg's Slavyanka neighborhood.

The report begins with surveillance footage showing an explosion across a parking lot, then cuts to a destroyed SUV and police vehicles. According to the narration, an explosive device had been attached beneath the vehicle.

Russian media identified the victim as a colonel serving as chief navigator of the 6th Air and Air Defence Army. Authorities have confirmed a serviceman's death, the report says, but have not officially confirmed that identification. No suspects or motive have been announced, and responsibility for the explosion has not been established.

The report also describes an earlier fatal car bombing in the same district in August, placing this attack within a series targeting Russian military figures.

The upload drew about 174,000 views in its first 15 hours, far beyond the channel's usual start for regular videos. Most of its reporting comes in the opening three minutes; the remaining footage largely repeats views of the wreckage, police vehicles and a damaged bus.
