Bomb that killed Luhansk Cossack leader was planted inside his car - LPR prosecutors
LUHANSK. Dec 12 (Interfax) - The leader of Luhansk Cossacks, Pavel Dryomov, was killed as a result of explosion of a bomb planted in his car, the prosecutor general's office of the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) said on Saturday.
"Preliminary reports suggest that it was an activated explosive device planted inside the vehicle in which Dryomov was travelling with his driver," prosecutors said in a statement, according to the Luhansk Information Center.
It was reported earlier that a vehicle carrying the local Cossack leader had been blown up on a highway in the self-proclaimed republic. Ukrainian saboteurs acting in the Pervomaisk-Stakhanov motorway area are suspected of committing the attack, the LPR prosecution official said. "It is obvious that a sabotage and reconnaissance group acted there. It is being searched for," he said.
