Russian Aerospace Forces commander Alexander Chayko targeted in Moscow restaurant bombing

"Russian Aerospace Forces Commander Alexander Chayko was the target of an explosion at Moscow's Balzi Rossi restaurant on Aug. 1, a source familiar with the matter told the Kyiv Independent.
The alleged assassination attempt against Chayko followed the attack on Ukraine's Khartiia Brigade Commander Oleksandr Obolienskyi in Kharkiv in late July by a man whose name has not been disclosed by law enforcement.
The suspect was recruited by Russian intelligence services, which posed as the Security Service of Ukraine, and was allegedly convinced that the commander was a "traitor," according to Ukrainska Pravda.
Late on Aug. 1, an explosion ripped through a restaurant in central Moscow, killing five people and injuring 21 others." KI
