A Russian general, Lt. Gen. Fanil Sarvarov, was killed in a car bombing in Moscow.
The explosion occurred early Monday morning on Yasenevaya Street.
Investigations suggest possible involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services.

A Russian general was killed in a car bombing on Monday morning in Moscow, according to Russia’s Investigative Committee. Lt. Gen. Fanil Sarvarov was the head of the operational training department of the Russian armed forces and died from injuries sustained in the blast, which was caused by an explosive device planted under his car located on Yasenevaya Street, Moscow. The Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case following this incident, which is under active investigation, according to BBC, SCMP, and AA.

Spokesperson for the Investigative Committee, Svetlana Petrenko, stated that one theory being pursued involves the orchestration of the attack by Ukrainian intelligence services. This line of inquiry aligns with multiple assessments from other sources highlighting Ukrainian special forces as potential suspects in this targeted murder, as noted by Al Jazeera, Reuters, and ABC News.
