"The Russian-language Telegram channel Baza reported that the car transporting Savarov traveled a short distance before the explosion. A video from the scene posted by the Investigative Committee shows a heavily damaged white car, surrounded by other vehicles in a parking lot. The committee said that one of the potential scenarios under consideration is that Ukrainian special services planted the bomb."
"Sarvarov's death marks yet another assassination of a high-ranking Russian military officer in the recent months. In April, Lieutenant General Yaroslav Moskalik was killed when a car exploded on a street in a Moscow suburb as he walked nearby. Russian prosecutors have charged a man in connection with the blast that killed Moskalik, alleging he had been paid by Ukrainian intelligence services."
A car bombing on the outskirts of Moscow on December 22 killed Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov, head of the General Staff's army operational training directorate. An explosive device placed under a car detonated, and Sarvarov died from blast injuries. A Russian-language Telegram channel reported the car traveled a short distance before the explosion, and Investigative Committee video shows a heavily damaged white car in a parking lot. One potential scenario under investigation is involvement by Ukrainian special services. Sarvarov fought in Chechnya, in Russian operations in Syria, and reportedly participated in the war against Ukraine. Several recent high-ranking officers have been killed in similar attacks.
