A high-ranking Russian army officer has been fatally wounded following an detonation in Moscow, according to reports from authorities.
The incident took place on Monday morning when an bomb planted beneath a vehicle was set off, leading to the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov was the head of the armed forces' department for training operations.
The committee indicated that one possible explanation involves the possible involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. To date, Ukraine has remained silent.
Location of the Blast
Personnel have been sent to the scene, which is understood to be in a southerly district of the city.
Reports state the detonation occurred in a car park near a residential building.
History of Assaults
Since the onset of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military commanders have been attacked within Moscow.
This most recent event comes after other notable incidents, such as:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was died in a vehicle explosion in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov was killed in late 2024 when a explosive hidden on a scooter was set off from a distance.
While a informant earlier connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are rarely officially confirmed as a matter of standard practice.
The conflict has witnessed clandestine operations reaching into the streets of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death continues to be active.
