An esteemed Russian military figure has been killed following an detonation in Moscow, according to an investigative body.
The incident occurred on Monday morning when an explosive device planted beneath a vehicle exploded, leading to the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov held the position of the head of the armed forces' unit responsible for operational readiness.
The committee mentioned that one line of inquiry involves the potential involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. At this time, Ukraine has not issued a comment.
Location of the Blast
Officials have been sent to the site, which is reportedly in a southerly district of the metropolis.
Reports suggest the blast happened in a vehicle lot adjacent to a residential building.
History of Incidents
Since the onset of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military officials have been attacked within Moscow.
This most recent event follows other high-profile incidents, including:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in a car bomb attack in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov was killed in late 2024 when a bomb concealed on a scooter was set off from a distance.
While a informant earlier connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are never formally acknowledged as a matter of standard practice.
The conflict has witnessed clandestine operations moving into the center of the Russian capital.
The examination into General Sarvarov's death continues to be active.
