Authoritative Source
A senior Russian military figure has been killed following an explosion in Moscow, according to reports from authorities.
The event occurred on Monday morning when an IED placed beneath a vehicle exploded, causing the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov served as the head of the armed forces' unit responsible for operational readiness.
The committee mentioned that one line of inquiry suggests the alleged involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. At this time, Ukraine has remained silent.
Scene of the Attack
Officials have been dispatched to the site, which is understood to be in a southerly district of the city.
Accounts indicate the blast took place in a car park adjacent to a residential building.
Series of Assaults
Since the start of the full-scale conflict in Ukraine, a series of Russian military commanders have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.
This new event comes after other high-profile incidents, such as:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in a automobile blast in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov died in late 2024 when a bomb concealed on a scooter was triggered from afar.
While a informant previously linked Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such claims are not officially confirmed as a matter of policy.
The war has been marked by shadowy operations extending into the center of the Russian capital.
The investigation into General Sarvarov's death continues to be underway.
