🔗 Share this article Russian Military Official Dies in Moscow Incident, Investigators State. Investigative Image A senior Russian military figure has been fatally wounded following an blast in Moscow, according to an investigative body. The attack took place on Monday morning when an explosive device concealed beneath a vehicle was set off, causing the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov. Sarvarov was the head of the armed forces' operational training department. Investigators indicated that one line of inquiry points to the alleged involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. So far, Ukraine has not issued a comment. Site of the Attack Teams have been dispatched to the scene, which is understood to be in a southerly district of the metropolis. Reports indicate the explosion occurred in a parking area adjacent to a residential building. Pattern of Targeted Attacks Since the onset of the full-scale conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military personnel have been targeted within Moscow. This most recent event echoes other serious incidents, for instance: General Yaroslav Moskalik was lost his life in a car bomb attack in Moscow earlier this year. General Igor Kirillov died in late 2024 when a explosive concealed on a scooter was detonated remotely. While a informant earlier connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are never officially confirmed as a matter of official stance. The war has witnessed covert operations extending into the heart of the Russian capital. The investigation into General Sarvarov's death remains active.
