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

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

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

Location of the Incident

Personnel have been are examining the site, which is understood to be in a south district of the capital.

Reports suggest the explosion took place in a vehicle lot adjacent to a residential building.

History of Assaults

Since the onset of the large-scale conflict in Ukraine, a string of Russian military officials have been targeted within Moscow.

This new event follows other notable incidents, such as:

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

While a Ukrainian source earlier attributed Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such claims are rarely publicly admitted as a matter of standard practice.

The conflict has been marked by covert operations moving into the heart of the Russian capital.

The investigation into General Sarvarov's death continues to be ongoing.
