Official Source A high-ranking Russian general has been killed following an explosion in Moscow, according to an investigative body. The attack occurred on Monday morning when an explosive device placed beneath a vehicle was set off, causing the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov. Sarvarov held the position of the head of the armed forces' department for training operations. Investigators stated that one possible explanation suggests the alleged involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. So far, Ukraine has offered no public response. Location of the Attack Personnel have been dispatched to the scene, which is understood to be in a southern district of the capital. Media coverage indicate the detonation happened in a vehicle lot adjacent to a residential building. Pattern of Targeted Attacks Since the beginning of the large-scale conflict in Ukraine, a series of Russian military personnel have been subjected to assaults within Moscow. This latest event comes after other notable incidents, such as: General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed 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 in the past attributed Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are not formally acknowledged as a matter of policy. Hostilities has increasingly seen shadowy operations moving into the heart of the Russian capital. The investigation into General Sarvarov's death continues to be ongoing.
