Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Although this act does not qualify as a terrorist act, the Russians think it is a terrorist act. I think it is because it was an attack on a civilian.

[Regnum] As a result of the explosion of an SUV in Donetsk, the head of the Yelenovskaya colony of the Donetsk People's Republic, Sergei Yevsyukov, was killed. This was reported on December 9 by the Telegram channel Mash.



The man received injuries incompatible with life.

It is alleged that his wife's leg was torn off and she was taken to hospital in serious condition. The explosive device was preliminarily installed under the bottom of the SUV. The plastid weighed about 100 g in TNT equivalent. The channel specified that a reward of 21 thousand dollars was set for Yevsyuk's head on Ukrainian websites.

There has been no official confirmation of Yevsyukov's death yet.

Earlier, a criminal case was opened in Ukraine against Yevsyukov and his deputy, accusing them of involvement in the deaths of prisoners of war of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). In July 2022, one of the buildings of the colony was destroyed as a result of the arrival of American Himars missiles launched by the Ukrainian army. As a result, over 50 Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed, 73 people were injured.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on the morning of December 9, a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado exploded in Donetsk. The Investigative Committee opened a criminal case. Investigators and forensic experts will conduct a detailed examination of the scene. A number of forensic examinations have been ordered, including an explosive-technical one.

Terrorist attack in Donetsk. 09.12.2024

As a result of the terrorist attack in Donetsk, the former head of the colony in Elenovka, Vitaly Yevsyukov, was killed.

An explosive device went off under the bottom of his SUV. Yevsyukov died, his wife's leg was torn off, she is now in hospital.

The Yelenovskaya colony became widely known for the fact that in 2022, as a result of shelling of the colony from the HIMARS MLRS, about 50 Azov militants were killed there, who were captured in Mariupol and some of them started to inject drugs. Which actually prompted the Nazis to eliminate the witnesses. Well, and then the blame for the shelling was put on Russia, as if it was shelling itself.
