An esteemed Russian military figure has been killed following an detonation in Moscow, according to an investigative body.
The event happened on Monday morning when an explosive device placed beneath a vehicle was set off, leading to the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov was the head of the armed forces' operational training department.
Investigators indicated that one theory under investigation involves the alleged involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. So far, Ukraine has remained silent.
Scene of the Incident
Teams have been sent to the site, which is understood to be in a southerly district of the metropolis.
Accounts suggest the detonation took place in a car park close to a residential building.
Pattern of Targeted Attacks
Since the start of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a series of Russian military personnel have been attacked within Moscow.
This latest event follows other notable incidents, including:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was died in a car bomb attack in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov was killed in late 2024 when a device placed on a scooter was triggered from afar.
While a informant previously linked Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are rarely formally acknowledged as a matter of policy.
Hostilities has been marked by covert operations moving into the center of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death is still active.
