Stanislav Rzhitskiy was found with four bullet wounds in his back near the Olimp sports complex in Krasnodar, southern Russia after he was tracked on a fitness app
A Russian naval captain has been assassinated on his morning run after being hunted down using a fitness tracker app.
Stanislav Rzhitskiy was found with four bullet wounds in his back near the Olimp sports complex in Krasnodar, southern Russia, according to reports.
His death was said to be payback for a brutal Kalibr missile strike on the Ukrainian city of Vinnytsia nearly a year ago that he allegedly commanded. The submarine he controlled attacked the city several times last year and the deadliest strike killed 28 people.
Russian investigators believe Rzhitsky’s running route was tracked by a jogging app he used and that the timing of the killing was linked to the upcoming first anniversary of the Kalibr attack on July 15.
