🔗 Share this article A top Russian Senior Officer Dies in the Russian Capital Blast, Authorities Confirm. Official Photograph An esteemed Russian military figure has been declared dead following an explosion in Moscow, according to an investigative body. The attack took place on Monday morning when an bomb placed beneath a vehicle exploded, causing the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov. Sarvarov was the head of the armed forces' department for training operations. Authorities mentioned that one possible explanation suggests the alleged involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. At this time, Ukraine has remained silent. Scene of the Blast Officials have been sent to the site, which is said to be in a south district of the metropolis. Accounts state the detonation occurred in a car park near a residential building. Series of Assaults Since the onset of the full-scale conflict in Ukraine, a string of Russian military officials have been targeted within Moscow. This latest event comes after other serious incidents, for instance: General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in a automobile blast in Moscow earlier this year. General Igor Kirillov perished in late 2024 when a device hidden on a scooter was triggered from afar. While a Ukrainian source in the past linked Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are not formally acknowledged as a matter of standard practice. The war has increasingly seen covert operations reaching into the heart of the Russian capital. The probe into General Sarvarov's death continues to be ongoing.
