Series of Targeted Attacks Since the beginning of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military officials have been targeted within Moscow. This most recent event echoes other high-profile incidents, for instance: General Yaroslav Moskalik was lost his life in a car bomb attack 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 source from Ukraine earlier connected Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are rarely formally acknowledged as a matter of standard practice. Hostilities has witnessed shadowy operations reaching into the streets of the Russian capital. The investigation into General Sarvarov's death remains active.
