Russian General Killed in Moscow Car Bomb, Investigators Said. A senior Russian general was killed in a car bombing in Moscow, in what authorities described as a targeted assassination. Lt. Gen. Fanil Sarvarov died after an explosive device planted under a vehicle detonated on Monday morning, Russia’s Investigative Committee said. Investigators said they were considering multiple motives and claimed one theory pointed to Ukrainian special services as being behind the attack. The Kremlin said President Vladimir Putin was immediately informed of Sarvarov’s death through security channels. State media footage showed a severely damaged vehicle in a residential parking area of Moscow, underscoring the brazen nature of the attack. Sarvarov, 56, had led the armed forces’ operational training department for nine years and had previously overseen missions in Syria, according to Russian media. The killing followed a series of bombings and shootings targeting senior Russian military and political figures since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Previous victims included top generals, nationalist figures and pro-war bloggers, with some assassinations openly claimed by Ukrainian officials.
