A car bomb in Moscow has injured a former adviser to Ukraine's pro-Putin ex-prime minister Mykola Azarov, Russia's Investigative Committee says.

Sergei Zavorotny was behind the wheel when the explosion happened on Friday morning. He was taken to hospital, investigators added.

Zavorotny had been an aide to Azarov until the prime minister resigned in 2014 and fled to Russia. The car bomb went off a day after a similar explosion killed a Russian colonel in Saint Petersburg.
