🔗 Share this article Russian General Loses His Life in the Russian Capital Blast, Investigators Confirm. Investigative Source A high-ranking Russian army officer has been killed following an detonation in Moscow, according to reports from authorities. The event happened on Monday morning when an IED concealed beneath a vehicle exploded, resulting in the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov. Sarvarov was the head of the armed forces' department for training operations. Authorities stated that one theory under investigation points to the possible involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. At this time, Ukraine has not issued a comment. Location of the Blast Teams have been sent to the site, which is said to be in a southerly district of the metropolis. Media coverage indicate the blast occurred in a vehicle lot near a residential building. History of Targeted Attacks Since the beginning of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military commanders have been attacked within Moscow. This latest event comes after other high-profile incidents, for instance: General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in a car bomb attack in Moscow earlier this year. General Igor Kirillov died in late 2024 when a device concealed on a scooter was detonated remotely. While a Ukrainian source previously connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are never publicly admitted as a matter of policy. The conflict has increasingly seen clandestine operations extending into the heart of the Russian capital. The probe into General Sarvarov's death is still active.
