Three Killed in Moscow Car Explosion, Authorities Say
Three people were killed in a car explosion in Moscow, according to Russia's Investigative Committee. The victims included two traffic police officers and another individual. The blast occurred at around 1:30 a.m. local time on Wednesday near the site where Lt Gen Fanil Sarvarov, a senior Russian general, had been killed earlier that week.
Sarvarov died when a bomb exploded under his car in southern Moscow on Monday at about 7 a.m. Investigators believe the assassination was likely carried out by Ukrainian intelligence services. Video footage aired on Russian television showed a cordoned-off area and a heavy police presence at the scene.
Russian officials and pro-war voices have called for swift retribution, highlighting that this car explosion marks the third bombing in Moscow within the past year that killed a senior officer connected to the Ukraine invasion. Updates on the incident have been reported by Reuters.
