On the evening of May 29, 2025, an explosion occurred outside a residential building in Stavropol, Russia, killing two men – one a well-known Russian war veteran and deputy head of the city. Investigators determined the blast was caused by an IED carried by the other man, who had arrived for a pre-arranged meeting. Allegedly lured through a dating app, the latter may have been unaware he was carrying an IED. The incident reflects a broader trend in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, where both sides are increasingly using covert, sophisticated tactics to eliminate high-value targets far from active combat zones.
