A leading Russian military blogger who supported the invasion of Ukraine has been killed in a bomb attack on a cafe in central St Petersburg.
Vladlen Tatarsky - whose real name was Maxim Fomin - was a member of a blogging group known as Cyber Front Z, which had hired out the cafe for an event. Witnesses say the bomb was hidden in a statuette he was presented with. 25 people were injured.
