A senior Russian general has been killed following an explosion in Moscow, according to official statements.

The event happened on Monday morning when an IED placed beneath a vehicle exploded, leading to the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.

Sarvarov served as the head of the armed forces' unit responsible for operational readiness.

The committee mentioned that one possible explanation involves the alleged involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. So far, Ukraine has offered no public response.

Site of the Blast

Teams have been sent to the scene, which is reportedly in a southern district of the city.

Media coverage suggest the explosion happened in a parking area adjacent to a residential building.

Pattern of Assaults

Since the beginning of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a series of Russian military officials have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.

This most recent event comes after other high-profile incidents, including:

• General Yaroslav Moskalik was died 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 set off from a distance.

While a informant in the past connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are rarely publicly admitted as a matter of policy.

The war has witnessed clandestine operations extending into the center of the Russian capital.

The investigation into General Sarvarov's death is still ongoing.
