Authoritative Source A high-ranking Russian military figure has been fatally wounded following an blast in Moscow, according to official statements. The attack took place on Monday morning when an explosive device planted 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. Investigators indicated that one line of inquiry points to the possible involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. At this time, Ukraine has remained silent. Location of the Incident Personnel have been dispatched to the site, which is understood to be in a southern district of the city. Media coverage suggest the blast happened in a car park near a residential building. Series of Targeted Attacks Since the beginning of the large-scale conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military commanders have been targeted within Moscow. This new event comes after other serious incidents, for instance: General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in a car bomb attack in Moscow earlier this year. General Igor Kirillov was killed in late 2024 when a explosive placed on a scooter was detonated remotely. While a informant in the past connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are never officially confirmed as a matter of official stance. The conflict has increasingly seen covert operations extending into the streets of the Russian capital. The probe into General Sarvarov's death remains ongoing.
