An esteemed Russian general has been declared dead following an explosion in Moscow, according to reports from authorities.
The attack occurred on Monday morning when an IED concealed beneath a vehicle exploded, resulting in the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov served as the head of the armed forces' department for training operations.
Authorities indicated that one theory under investigation involves the possible involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. To date, Ukraine has not issued a comment.
Site of the Blast
Personnel have been dispatched to the site, which is reportedly in a southerly district of the metropolis.
Reports suggest the blast happened in a parking area near a residential building.
History of Incidents
Since the start of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a series of Russian military personnel have been targeted within Moscow.
This most recent event follows other serious incidents, including:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was lost his life in a automobile blast in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov perished in late 2024 when a device concealed on a scooter was triggered from afar.
While a informant in the past connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are not publicly admitted as a matter of policy.
The war has witnessed shadowy operations moving into the center of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death remains underway.
