A senior Russian military figure has been declared dead following an explosion in Moscow, according to official statements.
The attack happened on Monday morning when an bomb placed beneath a vehicle detonated, causing the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov served as the head of the armed forces' department for training operations.
Authorities stated that one theory under investigation suggests the potential involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. To date, Ukraine has not issued a comment.
Site of the Incident
Teams have been are examining the site, which is said to be in a south district of the capital.
Accounts indicate the explosion occurred in a vehicle lot adjacent to a residential building.
Series of Assaults
Since the beginning of the large-scale conflict in Ukraine, a string of Russian military personnel have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.
This new event follows other notable incidents, including:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was died in a car bomb attack in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov perished in late 2024 when a explosive concealed on a scooter was detonated remotely.
While a informant in the past linked Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are rarely formally acknowledged as a matter of official stance.
The conflict has witnessed clandestine operations extending into the heart of the Russian capital.
The investigation into General Sarvarov's death is still ongoing.
