The explosion reportedly began in the car’s engine before spreading to the interior, reducing the rear of the vehicle to a charred wreck, as captured in widely circulated video footage. While the cause remains unclear and no injuries or deaths were reported, speculation has swirled about the incident’s implications.
Putin, 72, frequently uses his fleet of heavily secured limousines for travel and has even gifted them to leaders like North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. The Kremlin has long prioritized the president’s safety, with Moscow vowing a nuclear response to any assassination attempts.
The timing of the explosion has raised eyebrows, coming shortly after Zelenskyy’s cryptic remarks and amid heightened tensions with Ukraine. Earlier this year, Vyacheslav Volodin, Russia’s parliamentary speaker, warned on Telegram that even discussing Putin’s assassination could trigger global catastrophe, calling it a “direct path to nuclear war.”
Despite robust security measures, assassination attempts have been reported, including a deadly explosion last December that killed Kremlin allies Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov and his aide in Moscow. Authorities have not confirmed the driver’s identity or what sparked this latest incident, leaving many questions unanswered as the Kremlin navigates an increasingly volatile landscape.
