A senior Russian military commander, Lt. Gen. Yaroslav Moskalik, was killed in a car explosion in Balashikha, eastern Moscow. The Investigative Committee of Russia has launched a criminal inquiry into the incident. This killing occurs simultaneously with increasing military tensions as U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff engages in high-profile negotiations with President Putin regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Moskalik's death follows a pattern of targeted killings of figures opposed to Kyiv within Russia, highlighting a significant escalation in hostilities and internal security threats.
