Putin’s minister shoots himself just hours after being fired, Kursk drama takes over internet

Russia is rocked by scandal as ex-Transport Minister Roman Starovoyt is found dead just hours after President Putin fired him. Authorities say Starovoyt, 53, shot himself inside his Tesla Model X near Moscow, with state media linking his dismissal to a $12 million embezzlement probe in the Kursk region. Was this a tragic suicide, or is there more behind Putin’s late-night shakeup?
