Roman Starovoit, recently sacked as transport minister, was found dead in his home in Odintsovo, and sources point to suicide. His dismissal came after the grounding of nearly 500 flights due to Ukrainian drone threats and an explosion that affected the transportation sector. Starovoit had been governor of the Kursk region before taking over the ministry, and past corruption allegations are said to have contributed to the pressure on him. The Kremlin gave no details about the reasons for the dismissal.
