History of Incidents
Since the onset of the large-scale conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military commanders have been attacked within Moscow.
This latest event echoes other notable incidents, for instance:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in a automobile blast in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov perished in late 2024 when a explosive placed on a scooter was detonated remotely.
While a informant in the past linked Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are not officially confirmed as a matter of standard practice.
The conflict has witnessed clandestine operations reaching into the center of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death remains active.
