A senior Russian general has been declared dead following an blast in Moscow, according to official statements.
The event took place on Monday morning when an bomb placed beneath a vehicle detonated, leading to the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov served as the head of the armed forces' unit responsible for operational readiness.
Investigators stated that one possible explanation involves the alleged involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. At this time, Ukraine has remained silent.
Site of the Incident
Teams have been sent to the scene, which is understood to be in a south district of the city.
Media coverage indicate the blast took place in a car park near a residential building.
Series of Targeted Attacks
Since the beginning of the large-scale conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military commanders have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.
This most recent event echoes other notable incidents, including:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was died in a automobile blast in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov was killed in late 2024 when a device placed on a scooter was set off from a distance.
While a source from Ukraine in the past connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are rarely publicly admitted as a matter of policy.
The conflict has increasingly seen covert operations moving into the center of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death is still underway.
