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

The incident happened on Monday morning when an IED concealed beneath a vehicle detonated, causing the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.

Sarvarov served as the head of the armed forces' department for training operations.

Investigators indicated that one theory under investigation points to the alleged involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. At this time, Ukraine has remained silent.

Scene of the Blast

Officials have been sent to the location, which is said to be in a southerly district of the city.

Media coverage state the detonation took place in a parking area adjacent to a residential building.

Series of Incidents

Since the start of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a string of Russian military personnel have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.

This latest event comes after other notable incidents, for instance:

  • General Yaroslav Moskalik was lost his life in a automobile blast in Moscow earlier this year.
  • General Igor Kirillov was killed in late 2024 when a bomb placed on a scooter was set off from a distance.

While a informant previously connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are never formally acknowledged as a matter of policy.

Hostilities has witnessed covert operations reaching into the streets of the Russian capital.

The probe into General Sarvarov's death remains underway.
