Telegram-channel Nizhny No. 1 published images from the incident scene showing the aftermath of the explosion that affected the author Zakhar Prilepin’s car. The visuals depict the car rolling over its roof shortly after the blast, with responders already on site and help arriving for the injured journalist.
According to the published materials, Prilepin was aboard an Audi Q7 when the explosion occurred on a highway in the Borsky district of Nizhny Novgorod.
