🔗 Share this article Russian General Killed in Moscow Incident, Officials State. Authoritative Image A senior Russian general has been killed following an detonation in Moscow, according to an investigative body. The incident happened on Monday morning when an IED planted beneath a vehicle detonated, leading to the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov. Sarvarov was the head of the armed forces' unit responsible for operational readiness. Authorities indicated that one line of inquiry involves the potential involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. At this time, Ukraine has offered no public response. Scene of the Blast Teams have been dispatched to the site, which is said to be in a south district of the capital. Reports indicate the detonation took place in a car park close to a residential building. History of Targeted Attacks Since the beginning of the full-scale conflict in Ukraine, a series of Russian military personnel have been targeted within Moscow. This latest event follows other high-profile 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 device hidden on a scooter was triggered from afar. While a informant earlier connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are not formally acknowledged as a matter of policy. The war has increasingly seen covert operations moving into the streets of the Russian capital. The probe into General Sarvarov's death is still active.
