Pro-Russian Official In Ukraine Seriously Injured In Car Blast

In recent months, several Pro-Russian officials in Ukraine have been killed or wounded in attacks.

Kyiv:

A pro-Kremlin official in the Russian-controlled port city of Berdyansk in southern Ukraine was in a serious condition Tuesday after being injured in a car blast, Moscow-installed authorities said.

City commandant Artem Bardin was taken to hospital "in a serious condition" after the explosion of a bomb in his car, local officials in the city said.

Earlier, his death had been announced by the Berdyansk city authority and a pro-Kremlin regional official later retracted that to say Bardin was alive but seriously hurt.

"He is seriously injured but fortunately alive. The doctors are battling to save him," said the head of the Moscow-installed Zaporizhzhia region administration, Yevgeny Balitsky.

Local pro-Russian officials have accused "Ukrainian terrorists" of being behind the attack, which they said aimed at intimidating Ukrainian officials who had sided with the Russians.

In recent months, several officials installed by Russian forces in Moscow-controlled territories in Ukraine have been killed or wounded in attacks.

Kyiv has not formally claimed responsibility for them.

In late August, Alexei Kovalev, a former lawmaker who switched allegiance and became a senior official in the Russian-installed administration, was shot dead.

Ukraine has claimed its first gains in a counter-offensive against the Russian army in the south, saying it has recaptured several areas and destroyed multiple targets.

Russian-installed authorities in the occupied Ukrainian region of Kherson on Monday hinted at delays in southern Ukraine referendum plans amid the counter-offensive.

"Jaiswal Has Run Ahead Of Gill": Ex-India Star's Massive T20 WC Verdict

By
Former India opener Aakash Chopra has suggested that Yashasvi Jaiswal is slightly ahead of Shubman Gill in the pecking order as captain Rohit Sharma's partner at the top in T20Is. Since making his debut last year, Jaiswal has been in stunning form in the shortest format of the game. Gill's form, on the other hand, has dipped since the ODI World Cup last year in India. With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be held later this year, Chopra feels Jaiswal will open the innings with Rohit during the tournament. "It's clear that Yashasvi Jaiswal has run ahead of Shubman Gill. Yashasvi is ahead in the two-horse race, Gill is lagging slightly behind. Gill was played in the first match, dropped in the second, and wasn't played in the third as well," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. Jaiswal helped India beat Afghanistan in the second T20I earlier this week, scoring a quickfire fifty. Considering his recent form across formats, Chopra emphasised that Jaiswal has ...
