An esteemed Russian military figure has been declared dead following an blast in Moscow, according to official statements.
The attack happened on Monday morning when an bomb concealed beneath a vehicle detonated, causing the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov served as the head of the armed forces' operational training department.
Authorities stated that one theory under investigation suggests the potential involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. So far, Ukraine has remained silent.
Location of the Attack
Personnel have been sent to the site, which is said to be in a southern district of the city.
Accounts indicate the detonation occurred in a car park close to a residential building.
History of Incidents
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 serious 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 device hidden on a scooter was set off from a distance.
While a informant previously linked Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are rarely formally acknowledged as a matter of policy.
Hostilities has been marked by covert operations moving into the heart of the Russian capital.
The investigation into General Sarvarov's death continues to be underway.
