Site of the Attack
Personnel have been are examining the location, which is understood to be in a southerly district of the metropolis.
Reports state the blast occurred in a car park close to a residential building.
Series of Assaults
Since the start of the large-scale conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military personnel have been targeted within Moscow.
This new event follows other serious incidents, for instance:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was lost his life in a automobile blast 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 previously attributed Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such claims are not publicly admitted as a matter of standard practice.
The conflict has been marked by clandestine operations moving into the streets of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death is still active.
