Prominent Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky was killed in an explosion at a cafe in St. Petersburg.

Tatarsky, whose real name was Maxim Fomin, had more than 560,000 followers on Telegram and was one of the most influential military bloggers who has provided an often critical commentary on Russia's war in Ukraine, Reuters reports .

He was among hundreds of attendees at a lavish Kremlin ceremony last September to announce Russia's annexation of four partially occupied regions of Ukraine, a move most countries at the UN condemned as illegal.

A website in St. Petersburg said the explosion occurred at a cafe once owned by Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner private army that is fighting for Russia in Ukraine.

The RIA news agency said six other people were injured in the blast. There was no indication of who was responsible.
