Two security chiefs for Putin are critically injured in a car bombing assassination attempt.

Vladimir Putin's two senior security officials have been the target of a car bombing in the Ukrainian city of Luhansk, a city currently under Russian occupation. The blast was so powerful that it reduced the UAZ Patriot vehicle to an inferno.

Fortunately, Lt-Col Oleg Shumilov and Lt-Col Vladimir Pakholenko, the two officials, managed to escape from the burning car. However, they are now in the hospital fighting for their lives due to severe shrapnel wounds, as reported by local sources.

The incident has been declared as an attempted assassination and has triggered a criminal investigation. This is the latest in a series of sabotage operations that have taken place in Ukraine's Russian-controlled territories in recent weeks.

The attack has caused yet another blow to Russian president, Vladimir Putin, as several key positions have been attacked in the last few weeks. On Thursday, a 'kamikaze drone strike' destroyed a missile base and just days before that, Ukraine reportedly hit a Russian gunpowder factory and missile plant.
