The bomb, which was triggered by a device placed in a scooter, killed Lt. General Igor Kirillov and his assistant, identifying the attack as a significant act of terrorism.
Kirillov was under sanctions for his involvement in the conflict in Ukraine, specifically for the alleged use of banned chemical weapons which have been frequently reported since February 2022.
Moscow is currently treating the bombing as a terrorist attack, and investigators are working to uncover all the circumstances surrounding this serious crime.
This incident marks another targeted attack on Russian officials, continuing a trend of violence amidst ongoing military operations and increasing tensions related to the war in Ukraine.
