A senior Russian military figure has been fatally wounded following an explosion in Moscow, according to an investigative body.
The attack occurred on Monday morning when an bomb concealed beneath a vehicle exploded, leading to the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov was the head of the armed forces' unit responsible for operational readiness.
Authorities mentioned that one possible explanation suggests the possible involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. At this time, Ukraine has remained silent.
Scene of the Blast
Officials have been sent to the location, which is said to be in a south district of the city.
Accounts suggest the explosion took place in a vehicle lot close to a residential building.
History of Incidents
Since the beginning of the full-scale conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military personnel have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.
This new event comes after other notable incidents, for instance:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in a automobile blast in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov died in late 2024 when a bomb concealed on a scooter was detonated remotely.
While a informant previously connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are never publicly admitted as a matter of official stance.
Hostilities has increasingly seen shadowy operations extending into the center of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death remains underway.
