Authoritative Source
A senior Russian military figure has been fatally wounded following an detonation in Moscow, according to official statements.
The attack occurred on Monday morning when an bomb planted beneath a vehicle detonated, resulting in the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov was the head of the armed forces' operational training department.
The committee mentioned that one theory under investigation involves the possible involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. To date, Ukraine has remained silent.
Site of the Attack
Teams have been sent to the site, which is understood to be in a southerly district of the city.
Reports suggest the explosion took place in a vehicle lot near a residential building.
Pattern of Assaults
Since the onset of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a series of Russian military personnel have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.
This latest event follows other notable incidents, such as:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in a car bomb attack in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov perished in late 2024 when a device hidden on a scooter was set off from a distance.
While a source from Ukraine previously linked Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are never formally acknowledged as a matter of policy.
Hostilities has witnessed clandestine operations moving into the heart of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death remains underway.
