Russia was reported to have suffered a car bombing for a second consecutive day on November 13. Sergei Zavorotny, described as a former adviser to Ukraine's former pro-Russian prime minister Mykola Azarov, was injured.

The explosion occurred in Moscow on the morning of November 13 while he was travelling in his car. He was admitted to hospital for treatment.

Unconfirmed Russian media reports said his injuries were serious and included the loss of his left arm. That account of the extent of his injuries remains unverified.

A Russian army colonel was reported killed in a car bombing in St Petersburg on November 12, the day before the Moscow explosion.

The incidents were reported while peace talks aimed at ending the war were taking place in Dublin, Ireland. Attacks by both sides were said to be continuing despite those talks.
