Site of the Attack
Personnel have been are examining the scene, which is said to be in a south district of the city.
Accounts suggest the blast happened in a car park adjacent to a residential building.
History of Targeted Attacks
Since the onset of the full-scale conflict in Ukraine, a string of Russian military commanders have been attacked within Moscow.
This latest event follows other notable incidents, including:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was died in a automobile blast in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov perished in late 2024 when a explosive placed on a scooter was detonated remotely.
While a informant previously attributed Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are not publicly admitted as a matter of policy.
The conflict has increasingly seen shadowy operations reaching into the streets of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death is still ongoing.
