A senior Russian military figure has been declared dead following an detonation in Moscow, according to official statements.
The incident took place on Monday morning when an IED concealed beneath a vehicle detonated, causing the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov was the head of the armed forces' unit responsible for operational readiness.
The committee indicated that one theory under investigation involves the alleged involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. So far, Ukraine has offered no public response.
Scene of the Attack
Teams have been sent to the location, which is reportedly in a south district of the metropolis.
Media coverage state the blast occurred in a car park adjacent to a residential building.
History of Assaults
Since the start of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a series of Russian military personnel have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.
This latest event echoes other notable incidents, including:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was lost his life in a vehicle explosion in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov was killed in late 2024 when a bomb hidden on a scooter was triggered from afar.
While a Ukrainian source previously attributed Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are rarely officially confirmed as a matter of official stance.
The war has witnessed clandestine operations moving into the center of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death is still active.
