Credited from: CBSNEWS

Three people, including two police officers, were killed in a Moscow bombing.
The explosion occurred while officers attempted to detain a suspicious individual.
This incident follows closely on the heels of the assassination of a Russian general.

Three people have died in an explosion in southern Moscow, including two police officers, when they approached a suspicious individual, leading to the detonation of an explosive device, according to Al Jazeera, BBC, and South China Morning Post.

The attack occurred just two days after a senior general, Lt. Gen. Fanil Sarvarov, was killed in a separate bombing incident in the same area. Russian authorities blame Ukrainian intelligence for these targeted strikes against military figures, stating that Ukraine may have orchestrated these attacks, according to Reuters and CBS News.

In the latest incident, the Russian Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case relating to the explosion. It highlighted previous attacks on high-ranking officials in the military, indicating a pattern of assassinations that have spurred security concerns within Moscow, according to India Times and Anadolu Agency.
