An esteemed Russian military figure has been killed following an blast in Moscow, according to official statements.
The incident happened on Monday morning when an bomb planted beneath a vehicle detonated, causing the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov served as the head of the armed forces' operational training department.
Authorities stated that one line of inquiry suggests the potential involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. At this time, Ukraine has remained silent.
Site of the Blast
Personnel have been sent to the location, which is said to be in a south district of the city.
Accounts state the blast took place in a parking area close to a residential building.
Series 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 echoes other notable incidents, for instance:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in a car bomb attack in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov died in late 2024 when a bomb hidden on a scooter was set off from a distance.
While a informant previously connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are not publicly admitted as a matter of official stance.
The conflict has been marked by covert operations extending into the center of the Russian capital.
The investigation into General Sarvarov's death remains ongoing.
