Russian general killed in car explosion in Moscow
A senior Russian military officer was killed on Monday morning when a car exploded in the southern part of Moscow, according to Russia’s Investigative Committee. Authorities said they have opened a criminal investigation into the incident and are examining several possible leads.
The victim was identified as Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov, a member of the Russian General Staff and head of the department responsible for operational training. Investigators classified the case as a homicide and stated that the circumstances surrounding the explosion remain under active investigation.
Russian officials indicated that one of the lines of inquiry involves a possible link to Ukrainian special services, though no definitive conclusions have been announced. Security forces reportedly secured the area shortly after the blast, while forensic teams examined the vehicle and surrounding site.
The incident comes amid ongoing tensions related to the war in Ukraine, as Moscow and Kyiv continue to accuse each other of covert operations and targeted actions beyond the battlefield. Russian authorities have not released further details on the method used or potential suspects.
The killing of a high-ranking military official inside the Russian capital marks a significant security incident and is likely to heighten concerns over internal safety amid the broader regional conflict.
