An esteemed Russian military figure has been killed following an detonation in Moscow, according to reports from authorities.
The event took place on Monday morning when an IED 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.
Authorities stated that one theory under investigation involves the possible involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. To date, Ukraine has offered no public response.
Scene of the Blast
Personnel have been are examining the location, which is reportedly in a south district of the city.
Reports indicate the detonation occurred in a vehicle lot near a residential building.
Pattern of Assaults
Since the beginning of the large-scale conflict in Ukraine, a series of Russian military commanders have been targeted within Moscow.
This latest event comes after other serious incidents, such as:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was died in a vehicle explosion in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov died in late 2024 when a explosive placed on a scooter was triggered from afar.
While a Ukrainian source earlier linked Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such claims are rarely publicly admitted as a matter of standard practice.
The war has increasingly seen covert operations reaching into the heart of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death remains ongoing.
