Former Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmytro Rogozin said Thursday that he needs surgery after being injured in an explosion in Ukraine.
Earlier, authorities in the Russian-controlled Kherson region of southern Ukraine said another Russian-appointed official had been killed in a car bomb blast on Thursday.
Rogozin was wounded on Wednesday after Ukrainian shells hit the hotel where he was staying in Donetsk, a city controlled by Russian allies. “I was injured – a piece of metal 8 millimeters by 6 millimeters entered above the right shoulder blade,” Rogozin wrote in Telegram. “I will have to have an operation. Other people close to me also got into it.”
The TASS news agency quoted Rogozin’s aide as saying he would be flown to Moscow because local doctors deemed the operation too risky.
Officials said the shells hit the hotel on Wednesday ahead of a meeting organized by Rogozin on security in the region.
