A senior Russian military figure has been fatally wounded following an blast in Moscow, according to reports from authorities.
The incident occurred on Monday morning when an explosive device placed beneath a vehicle was set off, resulting in the death of Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov.
Sarvarov served as the head of the armed forces' department for training operations.
The committee stated that one line of inquiry points to the possible involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services. To date, Ukraine has offered no public response.
Teams have been sent to the location, which is understood to be in a southerly district of the city.
Reports suggest the explosion happened in a car park close to a residential building.
Since the beginning of the full-scale conflict in Ukraine, a number of Russian military officials have been targeted within Moscow.
This latest event echoes other notable incidents, including:
While a informant in the past linked Kirillov's death to Ukraine's security service, such assertions are never formally acknowledged as a matter of official stance.
Hostilities has been marked by covert operations extending into the center of the Russian capital.
The probe into General Sarvarov's death remains ongoing.
