"Russian-installed official hospitalized by explosive device in Melitopol, Russian investigators say

A criminal investigation was launched after a Russian-installed deputy head of a regional police department was hospitalized by an explosive device in the occupied southern Ukrainian city of Melitopol on Tuesday, Russia's Investigative Committee said in a statement.

The incident happened at the gate of a residential building, the statement added.

"An improvised explosive device was planted, which was set off when the deputy head of the Russian Central Internal Affairs Directorate for the Zaporizhzhia region opened the gate on his way to work. As a result, the man suffered a mine-explosive injury. The victim was admitted to a medical facility," it said. The statement did not name him.

"Investigative and operational-search measures are being taken to identify those involved in the commission of this crime," it added.

The exiled Ukrainian mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, said that an explosion was heard on Tuesday morning by residents in the northern districts of the city.

"According to the specified data, this morning's explosion ‘knocked on the door’ of the deputy head of the so-called Department of Internal Affairs of the temporarily occupied part of Zaporizhzhia region when he was opening the gate," Fedorov added.
It follows a similar blast last week: The incident comes after another police chief in Melitopol, Oleksandr Mishchenko, was killed on April 27 when an improvised device exploded at the entrance to the apartment building where he lived.

Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said Tuesday three suspects "of a sabotage and reconnaissance group, which included a citizen of Ukraine and two citizens of Russia" allegedly involved in Mishchenko's death were detained.

Last week, Fedorov commented on Mishchenko’s death on Telegram, writing: "Before the full-scale invasion, Mishchenko was the head of the Pryazovia police department. After the occupation, not only he did defect to the enemy, but he also persuaded his employees to become traitors.""

"The SBU exposed businessmen who financed the "DNR" militants for more than UAH 50 million

The Security Service and the State Bureau of Investigation exposed a large-scale financing scheme for the terrorist organization "DNR". The equipment operated before the beginning of the full-scale invasion and replenished the "budget" of the militants for a total amount of more than 50 million in hryvnia equivalent.

As a result of comprehensive measures in Vinnytsia and Zhytomyr, the organizers of the scheme were exposed.

The perpetrators organized the supply of mining equipment from the temporarily occupied Donetsk region to the territory controlled by Ukraine."

Russian sources report that Prigozhin showed a photo of a destroyed armored car near Bakhmut destroyed further claiming that the head of Ukrainian Territorial Defense forces, Major General Ihor Tantsyur was killed in the attack.

"In an audio message released by his press service he stated "Today, during the approach of reserves from the settlement of Chasiv Yar to the settlement of Bakhmut, the artillery units of the Wagner PMC destroyed an armored car in which the commander of the territorial defense forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Ihor Tantsyura, was presumably located,"

He added that the car had been headed to Bakhmut, a small industrial city in the east of the country where Russian and Ukrainian forces have clashed since the summer of 2022.

"Everyone is alive and well," Denys Zelinskyi, a spokesperson for the Territorial Defense Forces, told local television network Suspilne. "We officially deny [Prigozhin's] statement. We do not comment on any spewing of enemy propaganda."

Roman Hryshchenko, commander of the 127th brigade of the Territorial Defense Forces, later told Suspilne that there had been "attempts by the enemy to injure the commander. But he is alive, healthy, unharmed and continues to perform his duties."

The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington think tank, said in its latest analysis of the conflict that Russian reactions to the claimed strike against Tantsyura "suggest Russian ultranationalists seek to frame any Russian operations as delaying potential Ukrainian counteroffensive actions."

"Milbloggers widely circulated Prigozhin's claims and framed the strike as an informational victory," the institute said.

"A prominent milblogger claimed that Tantsyura received an order to transfer reserves to Bakhmut and prepare Ukrainian forces to conduct counterattacks in the area, likely to frame the Russian strike as an operationally significant event which delayed potential upcoming Ukrainian counteroffensive actions," it added."
