En russisk ubåtkommandant ble skutt under joggetur i Krasnodar i det sørlige Russland. Stanislav Rzhitskij ble funnet med fire kulehull i ryggen nær sportsarenaen. Attentatmannen unnslapp, skriver russiske medier. Ukrainske medier skriver at Rzhitskij i fjor var kommandant for en ubåt som skjøt raketter mot Vinnitsa i Vest-Ukraina. I ett av angrepene ble 28 mennesker drept.

Stanislav Rzhitskiy was found with four bullet wounds in his back near the Olimp sport complex in Krasnodar, southern Russia, according to reports.

Russian media said that the assassin had escaped, and that a murder investigation had been launched.

Rzhitskiy, 42, was a captain in Russia’s navy but was working as the deputy head of the Krasnodar region’s mobilisation department when he was killed.

Ukrainian media said that he had commanded a submarine in the Black Sea last year that had fired Kalibr missiles at Vinnitsa, in west Ukraine. The city was attacked several times last year, with the deadliest strike killing 28 people.
