The assistant of the so-called “deputy prime minister” of the Russian-occupied part of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhya Oblast, Volodymyr Yepifanov, was reportedly injured in a car blast in Crimea early on June 19, according to the Russian Baza Telegram news channel.
The collaborator, as well as his secretary and bodyguard, received severe burns in the incident, which took place in the city of Simferopol.
The blast reportedly occurred on the Yevpatoriya highway at 4 a.m. Yepifanov was driving a Toyota Land Cruiser when a gas cylinder installed on the car suddenly exploded.
After that, he was unable to control the car and it stopped after hitting an obstacle.
All three passengers received 30% burns to their heads, torsos and hands as a result of the blast (the guard’s left leg was also burned).
They were all hospitalized.
