“At the time of two explosions, I was standing on the street near the car.

Two pops, one louder, one quieter.

Feeling like a gun went off.

I saw smoke in the area where the transformer box is located, Kononov said.

According to him, "the guards jumped out, they saw a guy who was lying."

Kononov added that they “didn’t even let him out”, he didn’t go outside the yard.

The victim was taken to the hospital.

The ex-minister said that this is the third attempt on his life.

Earlier, the Ministry of State Security of the DPR stated that an attempted terrorist attack had occurred in Donetsk against the former Minister of Defense of the DPR Kononov.
