History of Incidents
Since the onset of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military officials have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.
This most recent event follows other notable incidents, such as:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was died in a automobile blast in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov was killed in late 2024 when a explosive placed on a scooter was set off from a distance.
While a informant in the past attributed Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are never publicly admitted as a matter of standard practice.
Hostilities has witnessed clandestine operations extending into the center of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death remains underway.
