Putin’s Limo Explodes Near FSB HQ, Sparking Assassination Rumors

On Saturday, a limousine believed to belong to Russian President Vladimir Putin exploded in downtown Moscow, raising speculation about a possible assassination attempt.

According to The Sun, the explosion occurred near the Federal Security Service (FSB) headquarters on Sretenka Street. The vehicle, an Aurus Senat valued at approximately £275,000 ($355,000), was engulfed in flames.

Eyewitnesses reported that the fire started in the engine before spreading throughout the vehicle. No casualties were reported. While the cause is still under investigation, the car’s alleged connection to the Kremlin’s property management department has fueled theories of a potential plot against Putin.

The Aurus, often called Russia’s Rolls-Royce, manufactures the Senat limousine, which is Putin’s preferred vehicle for official duties. This luxury sedan features VR10-level armor to withstand bullets, explosives, and grenade attacks. Last year, Putin was gifted a model similar to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
