An esteemed Russian general has been fatally wounded following an blast in Moscow, according to an investigative body.
The incident occurred on Monday morning when an IED concealed beneath a vehicle exploded, resulting in the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov was the head of the armed forces' operational training department.
Investigators stated that one line of inquiry points to the alleged involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. At this time, Ukraine has remained silent.
Scene of the Attack
Officials have been dispatched to the scene, which is said to be in a south district of the capital.
Accounts suggest the explosion happened in a parking area close to a residential building.
Pattern of Incidents
Since the start of the full-scale conflict in Ukraine, a string of Russian military officials have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.
This new event follows other notable incidents, for instance:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was lost his life in a automobile blast in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov was killed in late 2024 when a explosive concealed on a scooter was triggered from afar.
While a source from Ukraine previously linked Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such claims are never publicly admitted as a matter of policy.
Hostilities has witnessed covert operations extending into the streets of the Russian capital.
The investigation into General Sarvarov's death is still active.
