Surveillance-camera footage published of the car bomb that claimed the life of journalist Pavel Sheremet

The Ukrainian website Obozrevatel has published surveillance-camera footage of the car bombing earlier today in Kiev that claimed the life of the acclaimed Belarusian journalist Pavel Sheremet. The video shows how the explosion occurred on the driver's side of the car, when the car came to a stop at an intersection, before trying to turn left.

Ukrainian law-enforcement officials say they suspect the murder is connected to Sheremet's activities as a journalist. They have also noted a “Russian evidence trail.” State prosecutors are reviewing the possibility that the attack was meant for Alena Pritula, the owner of the news website Ukrainskaya Pravda, where Sheremet worked. The car also belonged to Pritula.
