Russia: Soldier killed in car explosion in Saint Petersburg
1A Russian serviceman was killed when his car exploded in Saint Petersburg on Thursday. Investigators have opened a murder inquiry, while local media report that another person was injured.
Africanews didn’t include a summary, so this is Euronews’s, from its report on the same story.3
