A senior Russian military figure has been declared dead following an detonation in Moscow, according to official statements.
The attack took place on Monday morning when an explosive device planted beneath a vehicle detonated, leading to the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov held the position of the head of the armed forces' operational training department.
The committee mentioned that one line of inquiry involves the possible involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. At this time, Ukraine has offered no public response.
Site of the Attack
Teams have been sent to the site, which is said to be in a southern district of the metropolis.
Reports indicate the blast happened in a car park close to a residential building.
Series of Assaults
Since the beginning of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military personnel have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.
This latest event echoes other notable incidents, such as:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in a vehicle explosion in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov perished in late 2024 when a explosive hidden on a scooter was set off from a distance.
While a informant in the past linked Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are not publicly admitted as a matter of official stance.
The war has increasingly seen clandestine operations reaching into the heart of the Russian capital.
The investigation into General Sarvarov's death continues to be underway.
