The Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR), on October 19, reported that Russian Major Dmitriy Privukha was killed after his car exploded in the middle of Russian-occupied Luhansk.
HUR reported on Telegram that “on Oct. 18, 2024 at around 11:40 am, a UAZ Patriot vehicle exploded” in one of the streets of Luhansk. According to HUR, Pervukha was in the car.
Pervukha is accused of war crimes against Ukraine. He was a member of the 273rd Intelligence Center, which is located in Novosibirsk in Russia.
According to HUR, Pervukha was the “chief of staff” for military service and military security in the occupied territories.
The Russian Investigative Commission announced on October 18 that a criminal investigation was opened to investigate an explosion that killed a man who has not been named and injured a woman in a second car.
HUR did not claim responsibility for the attack, even though it called Pervukha a “war criminal” and said all crimes against Ukraine would “justly be punished.”
Since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion in Crimea and parts of Luhansk, Donetsk, and Crimea oblasts, there have been numerous reports of assassinations of Russian military officers, officials, and collaborates using car bombs.
