Later, Baza reported that the collaborator was only injured and taken to hospital.

On 12 September of the same year, Hura appeared on Russian television. As the collaborator stated, the Russian FSB allegedly staged his "death" on 6 August, as the secret service had received information about an assassination attempt.
