A senior Russian government official, Zaur Gurtsyev, deputy mayor of Stavropol and a decorated participant in Russia's invasion of Ukraine, was killed in a nighttime explosion in southwestern Russia. The blast, which also claimed another life, occurred on Chekhov Street and is suspected to have involved a grenade or improvised explosive device. Russian Telegram channels quickly linked Gurtsyev to the incident, sharing alleged footage of the blast. Gurtsyev had led aerial operations during the siege of Mariupol and was honored in Putin's 'Time of Heroes' campaign. The regional governor hinted at possible Ukrainian involvement but offered no proof. Kyiv has remained silent, though it has previously targeted Russian figures linked to the war.
