Series of Assaults
Since the beginning of the large-scale conflict in Ukraine, a string of Russian military officials have been targeted within Moscow.
This new event comes after other notable incidents, such as:
- 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 placed on a scooter was set off from a distance.
While a informant earlier linked Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are rarely formally acknowledged as a matter of standard practice.
The war has increasingly seen clandestine operations reaching into the heart of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death continues to be ongoing.
