A high-ranking Russian general has been declared dead following an explosion in Moscow, according to reports from authorities.
The incident took place on Monday morning when an bomb placed beneath a vehicle exploded, causing the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov held the position of the head of the armed forces' operational training department.
The committee mentioned that one possible explanation suggests the possible involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. So far, Ukraine has not issued a comment.
Scene of the Incident
Personnel have been are examining the site, which is said to be in a southerly district of the metropolis.
Accounts state the blast happened in a vehicle lot near a residential building.
Series of Assaults
Since the onset of the full-scale conflict in Ukraine, a series of Russian military commanders have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.
This new event follows other notable incidents, such as:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was lost his life in a automobile blast in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov was killed in late 2024 when a bomb placed on a scooter was set off from a distance.
While a Ukrainian source earlier linked Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are never publicly admitted as a matter of official stance.
The conflict has increasingly seen shadowy operations extending into the center of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death continues to be ongoing.
