A Russian general, Lt. Gen. Fanil Sarvarov, was reportedly killed by a car bomb in southern Moscow on Monday. Russian investigators told Reuters they suspected Ukrainian special services may have been behind the attack.
According to the report, the bomb exploded under a Kia Sorento driven by Lt. Gen. Fanil Sarvarov, head of the Russian General Staff’s military operational training directorate, as he left a parking space at 6:55 a.m. Moscow time (0355 GMT).
Russia’s State Investigative Committee said Sarvarov died from his injuries.
Investigators released a video showing the wrecked car, with blood visible on the driver’s seat.
The committee said that one of the versions being investigated is that the bomb was planted by Ukrainian special services. Ukraine did not immediately comment.
