Assassination
On June 27 2017, Colonel M. Shapoval was assassinated in a car bomb attack in central Kiev. At 8:15 (UTC) the Mercedes Benz vehicle he was driving exploded in a detonation, killing him and wounding two bystanders; a female passer-by with shrapnel wounds to her leg and an elderly man with wounds to his neck. Kiev police have branded the incident a "terrorist attack" with Russia as the main culprit.[1][3]
