MOSCOW: A senior Russian general was killed in southern Moscow on Monday after an explosive device placed under his car went off, investigators said in a statement.
Russia’s Investigative Committee, which examines major crimes, said it had opened a probe into the “murder” of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov, head of the training department within the General Staff.
The possibility that the attack was “linked” to “Ukrainian special forces” was among the lines of inquiry, it said.
