Lt General Igor Kirillov, a significant figure overseeing Russia's chemical, biological, and nuclear forces, officially became the target of a Ukrainian assassination campaign that had been ongoing since 2022. The attack marks a notable escalation in Ukraine's efforts to disrupt Russian military leadership, given Kirillov's role in managing the country's most potent military capabilities.
The successful assassination attempt occurred at an upscale apartment complex, just four miles from Moscow's Kremlin. Kirillov and his assistant were killed by 300 grams of explosives, ingeniously concealed in an e-scooter and detonated via a remote radio signal, showcasing remarkable engineering and precision in the execution of the assassination.
