Series of Incidents
Since the onset of the extensive conflict in Ukraine, a string of Russian military personnel have been subjected to assaults within Moscow.
This latest event follows other serious incidents, for instance:
- General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed in a vehicle explosion in Moscow earlier this year.
- General Igor Kirillov was killed in late 2024 when a device hidden on a scooter was detonated remotely.
While a Ukrainian source previously attributed Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such allegations are rarely publicly admitted as a matter of policy.
The conflict has increasingly seen clandestine operations reaching into the center of the Russian capital.
The investigation into General Sarvarov's death remains underway.
